parinde hote agar hum hamare par hote
zara si der mein ek dusre ke ghar hote

bala se hijr ki raaten tawil-tar hotin
magar na wasl ke din itne mukhtasar hote

hum apne markaz-o-mehwar se kat gae warna
us ek dar ke jo hote na dar-ba-dar hote

tumhaari chah mein itna to hum se ho sakta
tumhaari rah mein phulon bhara shajar hote

amir-e-dasht ka sunsan rasta hota
aur ek sham ko hum donon ham-safar hote
