abr nariyal naddi raste pe main aur tu
aatma ko kalpae koelon ki ku hu ku

kufa tere kuchon se apna karwan guzra
sar sawar nezon par qibla-ru sitara-ju

ya darun-e-afsana teri meri chap ubhre
madh-milan ki raaton mein ya jalen bujhin jugnu

roz-e-afrinash se apni ham-qadam sajni
panchhiyon ki chahkaren bansiyon ki haw-hu

rahguzar paraggyan tu mile sada sayyan
kar gaya hai be-qabu tere pyar ka jadu

gat par shararat se phulti hui purwa
bhed aur bhitar mein jhulti hui khushbu

pichhe pichhe shahzada biti dastanon mein
aage aage ghode ke bhagta hua aahu

mod ek kahani ka sach ki pasbani ka
al-atash ki aawazen dasht mein kinar-e-ju
