jab sitare safar ke dekhenge
pahle aankhon mein dar ke dekhenge

jab bhi un se mukhatabat hogi
chashm-e-girya ko bhar ke dekhenge

aise sannate hum pe guzre hain
ab to khud mein utar ke dekhenge

ham-safar raston ke the donon
ab akele guzar ke dekhenge

un ko apni nigah mein rakh kar
aaj thoda sanwar ke dekhenge

hum 'shafaq' sham ke andheron par
koi ilzam dhar ke dekhenge
