KHayal us ka kahan se kahan nahin jata
kaTi pahaD si shab intizar karte hue
go is safar mein thak ke badan chur ho gaya
is raaz ke baatin tak pahuncha hi nahin koi
sochte rahne se kya qismat ka likkha jaega
raushni se kis tarah parda karenge
koi mausam ho kuchh bhi ho safar karna hi paDta hai
abas hi mahw-e-shab-o-roz wo dua mein tha
rah-e-gum-karda sar-e-manzil bhaTak kar aa gaya
yun musallat to dhuan jism ke andar tak hai
masala ye hai ki uske dil mein ghar kaise karen
tamam phenke gae pattharon pe bhaari tha
dil ki ye aag bujha di kis ne
wo Khaali hath safar-e-ab par rawana hua
tha abas KHauf ki aaseb-e-guman main hi tha
