gham-e-hijran ki mari dhundhti hai
hawa khushbu tumhaari dhundhti hai

dagar pe chalne wali zindagi bhi
kabhi be-akhtyari dhundhti hai

yakayak ho gaya hai khauf rukhsat
ki ab hirni shikari dhundhti hai

ajal ek aalam-e-wahshat mein raqsan
sabhi ko bari bari dhundhti hai

parinde khoj mein nikle hue hain
mujhe subh-e-bahaari dhundhti hai
