sukhe patte uDa raha hoga

zahir mein bhi kya kya parda-dari hai

manzar-e-sarw-o-saman yaad aaya

phir lauT ke dharti pe bhi aane nahin deta

nit-nae rang mein nikalta hun

bas ki ek dar-ba-dari rahti hai

jin se maqsud hain manzil ke nishanat mujhe

mujhko malum tha main aur sanwar jaunga

maqam aur bhi aaenge la-makan ke baad

suraj hai naya chand naya tare nae hain

phir lauT ke dharti pe bhi aane nahin deta

kala jadu phail raha hai
