ufuq ta ufuq nilgun aasman
musafir parindon ki manzil kahan

bahut dur pichhe ko us bahr ke mawara
utarti rahi barf jamti rahi tah-ba-tah aashiyanon ke pas

tab nazare nazar-ashna
izn-e-awargi zad-e-afsurdagi de ke tharrae ba-chashm-e-tar

ki shayad bahut dur aage ko
us bahr ke mawara

zamurrad jude sahilon ne suna ho salam id ka
dhup ke jashn aahaten

naghma-e-garm khurshid ka
ufuq ta ufuq nilgun aasman

koi shakh-e-gul hai na koi munder
ghadi-do-ghadi pankhudi jaise par jod kar baith jaen jahan

ghadi-do-ghadi chahchahaen jahan
koi apne dukhte ko ko agar agar mein gir gaya

zara bhi fazaon ka daman na bhiga
na wahshi hawaon ka tufan ruka

sitare ba-dastur nilahaton mein chamakte rahe
misl-e-gardab gardan shab-o-roz ki charkhiyan

musafir parindon ki manzil kahan
bahut dur pichhe ko us bahr ke mawara

har nai dil-kusha agni munjamid
zer-e-ahram yakh-mahw-e-khwab

saz nahron ke darbar-e-fasl-e-bahaaran ke
tabut sadr nag tilon ke phulon ke

taj-o-guhar
munjamid zindagi ki fughan

bahut dur aage ko us bahr ke mawara
wo ek raushni ka jahan

wo ek gul pas-e-khar-zar
wo ek dana-e-zer-e-dam

use dekhna aur thithakna bhi kya chiz hai
magar aah us mod par aaj parwaz-o-awaz thi

hasil-e-musht par
hasil-e-dastan
