gumrahi ka meri saman hua jata hai
rasta zist ka aasan hua jata hai

ek taraf ruh ki parwaz ko jaise tayyar
ek taraf jism ki be-jaan hua jata hai

dasht-e-ghurbat hai ki aabaad hamare dam se
ghar ka aangan hai ki viran hua jata hai

kyun na phir dhup bhi ban jae ghata jab hum par
aap ka saya-e-mizhgan hua jata hai

kah diya aap ne kya kan mein chupke se ise
dil mein barpa mere haijaan hua jata hai

aap ki meri hi ghazlon ki hain katran sari
jin se wo sahab-e-diwan hua jata hai

di hai chupke se 'obaid' us ne labon par dastak
shor barpa tah-e-shiryan hua jata hai
