mithe chashmon se khunuk chhanw se dur
zakhm khulte hain tere ganw se dur

sang-e-manzil ne lahu ugla hai
dur hum baadiya-paimaon se dur

kitni shamen hain asir-e-fanus
kitne yusuf hain zulekhaon se dur

kisht-e-ummid sulagti hi rahi
abr barsa bhi to sahraon se dur

jaur-e-haalat bhala ho tera
chain milta hai shanasaon se dur

jannat-e-fikr bulati hai chalo
dair-o-kaba se kalisaon se dur

raqs-e-ashufta-saran dekhenge
dur in anjuman-araon se dur

justuju hai dur-e-yakta ki 'shakeb'
sipiyan chunte hain dariyaon se dur
