kis ne di mujh ko sada kaun-o-makan ke us taraf
muntazir hai kaun mera aasman ke us taraf

jaane kab donon milen aapas mein sayon ki tarah
do musafir chal rahe hain kahkashan ke us taraf

tai kiya main ne safar jaldi ki main jaldi mein tha
rah gaya saya mera donon jahan ke us taraf

ek na ek sar par rahega jitna main uncha gaya
aasman kuchh aur bhi hain aasman ke us taraf

par utrunga to wo mujh ko utha le jaega
ek sahra khushk bahr-e-be-karan ke us taraf

koi sargoshi-numa aawaz bhi aati nahin
kitni gahri khamushi hai la-makan ke us taraf
