jaan de di rahraw-e-manzil ne manzil ke qarib
hausle tufan ke nikle bhi to sahil ke qarib

wo nazar bahki hui phirti hai kyun dil ke qarib
us ki manzil bhi hai shayad meri manzil ke qarib

azm-e-gharqabi hai to minnat-kash-e-tufan na ban
kashtiyan lakhon hui hain gharq sahil ke qarib

rahraw-e-manzil ne ban kar markaz-e-yas-o-umid
manzilen lakhon bana lin apni manzil ke qarib

dubne wale ko tinke ka sahaara chahiye
mauj bhi sahil nazar aati hai sahil ke qarib

jaan de kar mutmain hai rahraw-e-himmat-shikan
duri-e-manzil ne pahunchaya hai manzil ke qarib

didani hai us ki hasrat us ka arman us ka shauq
jis ki kashti dub jae aa ke sahil ke qarib

dagmaga jate hain pa-e-shauq akasr ai 'rais'
manzilen aisi bhi aa jati hain manzil ke qarib
