ek faqat sahil talak aata hun main

ye zindagi safar hai Thahar hi na jaiye

ye zamin hun wo aasman bhi hun

kuchh to hain paikar pareshan aazaron ke darmiyan

us ka kamal hai ki KHizan par bahaar hai

sar jaziron ke phir se ubharne lage

aaj mahsur hain dimak-zada diwaron mein

kis ki taswir se aaina Daraata hai mujhe

dhyan dastak pe laga rahta hai

subh-e-justuju hai tu

chaar-su phaila hua kar-e-jahan rahne diya

kya la-makan se aage zamin aasman hain aur

aaine mein ghurne wala hai kaun

sahra base hue the hamari nigah mein

zabton ki aur qadron ki rawani dekhna
