raste mein jitne ped mile be-sada mile
ghar se nikal pade the ki taza hawa mile

insan ki talash hai rabb-e-karim ko
insan ki aarzu hai kahin par khuda mile

jo shakhs lamha lamha tajassus ke bawajud
khud se na mil saka ho zamane se kya mile

ye zindagi kuchh aise mere hath aa gai
jaise kisi faqir ko sikka pada mile

dharti ne aansuon ko pukara hai dosto
baadal tamam ab ke samundar se ja mile

har bar usi se ek naya ishq kijiye
jab bhi mile wo shakhs to badla hua mile
