wahin par mera sim-tan bhi to hai
usi raste mein watan bhi to hai

bujhi ruh ki pyas lekin sakhi
mere sath mera badan bhi to hai

nahin sham-e-tira se mayus main
bayaban ke pichhe chaman bhi to hai

mashaqqat bhare din ke aakhir par
sitaron bhari anjuman bhi to hai

mahakti dahakti lahakti hui
ye tanhai bagh-e-adan bhi to hai
