julus-e-tegh-o-alam jaane kis dayar ka hai
pas-e-ghubar bhi ek silsila ghubar ka hai

khala-e-jaan ka safar aur phir tan-e-tanha
ye rasta bhi bade jabr o ikhtiyar ka hai

tum aa gae ho to mujh ko zara sambhalne do
abhi to nashsha sa aankhon mein intizar ka hai

muqam-e-be-khabari hai yahan se kitni dur
ki shahr-e-dil mein bada shor shahryar ka hai

nahin hai sahl meri tarz par ghazal kahna
shiar ye kisi yakta-e-rozgar ka hai
