dara na paega lashkar tera zara mujh ko
mere khuda ne wo bakhsha hai hausla mujh ko

bana hai jab se mera ham-safar koi jugnu
dikha raha hai andhere mein rasta mujh ko

suragh milta nahin hai kahin se manzil ka
ye kis maqam pe la kar khada kiya mujh ko

wo jis ko samjha tha main ne yahan habib apna
wo shakhs dene laga in dinon dagha mujh ko

jo ungli tham ke chalta raha sada meri
dikha raha hai wahi shakhs aaina mujh ko

wo kaun urdu ka shaida hai shahar mein 'sani'
sabaq sikha gaya kal ka mushaera mujh ko
