hazar bar aazma chuka hai magar abhi aazma raha hai
humne jo tamannai bayaban-e-talab mein
kuchh kaam aa sakin na yahan be-gunahiyan
wo shai kahan hai pinhan ai mauj-e-ab-e-haiwan
ye gham nahin ki mujhko jagna paDa hai umr bhar
ab kaun si mata-e-safar dil ke pas hai
un ko hai dawa-e-asihai
mil hi jaegi kabhi manzil-e-maqsud-e-sahar
jis ko chalna hai chale raKHt-e-safar bandhe hue
hamin ne zist ke har rup ko sanwara hai
ek sannaTa tha aawaz na thi aur na jawab
thapkiyan dete rahe ThanDi hawa ke jhonke
baqi abhi qafas mein hai ahl-e-qafas ki yaad
dahr mein ek tere siwa kya hai
ai mauj-e-KHush-KHiram zara tez tez chal
