agarche main khat-e-jada pe ek gard-e-safar hun
khatakta hun magar phir bhi ki manzil ki khabar hun

ye mauj-e-khun hai sairabi-e-dil ka ek ishaara
so ek khak-e-numu-rafta pe hi mahw-e-safar hun

ye umr-e-khak-paima ek tamanna se bhi kam hai
so kitni khwahishon se main abhi tak be-khabar hun

khule hain rang-e-imkanat aainda ke mujh par
nirali meri khushbu hai main mitti ka shajar hun

jamal-e-saat-e-sad-rang ko main sher kar dun
main kab se is junun-angez ke zer-e-asar hun

tah-e-satar-e-tamanna dekh lun dil ka tadapna
ziyaada to nahin itna to main sahib-e-nazar hun
