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