apna duniya se safar thahra hai
gosha-e-qabr mein ghar thahra hai

hijr mein zist ko kahte hain maut
nafa ka nam zarar thahra hai

dil mera us ka taraf-dar hua
jo idhar tha wo udhar thahra hai

aur andher hua chahta hai
surma manzur-e-nazar thahra hai

likh hawa-o-hawas-e-wasl ai dil
qasid-e-baad-e-saba thahra hai

dekhen donon mein hawa kis ki bandhe
abr ai dida-e-tar thahra hai

ghar jo us mah ka bana hai ai 'mehr'
dil mera mah-e-nigar thahra hai
