aib bhi tere hunar lagte hain
teri furqat ka samar lagte hain

kal jo qadmon mein bichhe jate the
ab wo sae bhi shajar lagte hain

wo ude phirte hain hairat kya hai
chiyuntiyon ke bhi to par lagte hain

pi gain kitne samundar sadiyan
ab bhi dariya hi amar lagte hain

ek suraj hi to gahnaya hai
log kyun khak-basar lagte hain

jal raha hai koi gulshan shayad
ashk aankhon mein sharar lagte hain

jam-e-jam the jo mere dost kabhi
hadsa hai ki khabar lagte hain

hum jahan rahte hain wo dasht wo ghar
dasht lagte hain na ghar lagte hain

bais-e-ranj the ilzam kabhi
ab to ye rakht-e-safar lagte hain

raste band hain sare 'jauhar'
phir bhi wo rahguzar lagte hain
