KHalwat hui hai anjuman-ara kabhi kabhi
pate hain kuchh kami si taswir-e-zindagi mein
karte rahe taaqub-e-ayyam umr-bhar
ufuq ke us par kar raha hai koi mera intizar shayad
dil mein wo dard uTha raat ki hum so na sake
yunhi kaTe na rahguzar-e-muKHtasar kahin
jis ko chalna hai chale raKHt-e-safar bandhe hue
har ek rang mein yun Dub kar nikharte rahe
ab kaun si mata-e-safar dil ke pas hai
zindagi yun to guzar jati hai aaram ke sath
karo talash had-e-asman milne na mile
uTha ke mere zehn se shabab koi le gaya
dahr mein ek tere siwa kya hai
usi ne sath diya zindagi ki rahon mein
baDhne de abhi kashmakash-e-tar-e-nafas aur
