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
uTha ke mere zehn se shabab koi le gaya
karo talash had-e-asman milne na mile
dahr mein ek tere siwa kya hai
usi ne sath diya zindagi ki rahon mein
baDhne de abhi kashmakash-e-tar-e-nafas aur
