ye barf-zar badan se na jaan se niklega
lahu ho sard to shoala kahan se niklega

hazar ghere rahe jabr ka hisar-e-siyah
ki bab-e-rah-e-aman darmiyan se niklega

jo talkh harf pas-e-lab hai aam bhi hoga
chadha hai tir to aakhir kaman se niklega

jo ped phal nahin dete wo katte jao
khizan ka zahr yunhi gulistan se niklega

zara chale to sahi paniyon pe tez hawa
khada safina khule baadban se niklega

koi to kaam lo gham se ragen hi chamkao
jalengi shamen andhera makan se niklega

khule hain raston ke bhed tu samajh 'shahin'
ye karwan safar-e-raegan se niklega
