gardish mein hai zamin bhi kya aasman ke sath
duniya badal gai nigah-e-mehrban ke sath

dohrana anjuman mein samajh soch ke use
teri bhi dastan hai meri dastan ke sath

ab main hun aur kunj-e-qafas ki musibaten
wo aashiyan ki baat gai aashiyan ke sath

betabiyon se rabt tha bechainiyon se kaam
guzre hain aise din bhi us aaram-jaan ke sath

roz-e-azal wahi to faqat mustahiq na tha
kuchh gardishen hamein bhi milin aasman ke sath

gham ko tere bhula na saka do-jahan ka gham
tera bhi gham raha hai gham-e-do-jahan ke sath

ummid hi nahin to guzar jaegi yunhi
ek mehrban ke sath ki na-mehrban ke sath

ye soz-o-saz-e-ishq gham-e-jawedan sahi
de umr-e-jawedan bhi gham-e-jawedan ke sath

manzil ka kya yaqin ho batae koi mujhe
jab rahguzar bhi hai rawan karwan ke sath
