aazar hi ab koi makanon pe girega
lagta hai ki ye bar bhi shanon pe girega

is bar koi tir kamanon mein nahin hai
is bar magar jism nishanon pe girega

ek chikh se gunjengi kai aur bhi sadiyan
aawaz ka patthar hai zamanon pe girega

sab dekhte rah jaenge ye tir-ba-kaf log
jab ja ke parinda ye chatanon pe girega

ek shakhs jo khwabon mein bhi sae ki tarah hai
kab harf-e-yaqin ban ke gumanon pe girega

hum khema-e-ashjar se guzrenge bahar-kaif
gham surat-e-barfab machanon pe girega

jab tak ki takallum mein nahin taqat-e-guftar
kya harf-e-talab koi zabanon pe girega

khwah auj-e-falak tak hi chala jae ye suraj
thak kar isi dharti ke dahanon pe girega

tum phul barasne ki 'kafil' aas to rakhna
kya sang sada aaina-khanon pe girega
