hijr bana aazar safar kaise katta
ishq ke rog hazar safar kaise katta

dhup ka bojh saron par aakhir aan gira
khatm hue ashjar safar kaise katta

kya batlaen apni khali jholi mein
sansen thin do-chaar safar kaise katta

dekhte dekhte nazron se madum hue
raston ke aasar safar kaise katta

pichhe behis din ke khauf tha aur aage
raat ki thi diwar safar kaise katta

apna bojh utha kar apne kandhon par
chalna tha dushwar safar kaise katta

aankhen thin viran nazar kaise aata
dil to tha bimar safar kaise katta

nange panw dhup mein chalte rahne ki
koshish thi bekar safar kaise katta

kuchh to jazire binai se ojhal the
naw thi be-patwar safar kaise katta

ek duje ke sang adi thin sab kunjen
tut gai phir dar safar kaise katta
