bar-sar-e-baad hua apna thikana sar-e-rah
kaam aaya mera aawaz lagana sar-e-rah

dosto fart-e-junun rah badalta hai meri
kis ne chaha tha tumhein chhod ke jaana sar-e-rah

dil mulaqat ka khwahan ho to khak udti hai
bach ke chalta hun to milta hai zamana sar-e-rah

ye jo mitti tan-e-baqi ki liye phirta hun
chhod jaunga kahin ye bhi khazana sar-e-rah

tum kisi sang pe ab sar ko tika kar so jao
kaun sunta hai shab-e-gham ka fasana sar-e-rah

rah-e-duniya mein thaharna to nahin tha dil ko
mil gaya hoga koi khwab purana sar-e-rah
