agarche qatra hun aur bahr se juda bhi nahin
magar ye kya hai ki main bahr-ashna bhi nahin

ye justuju teri lai hai kis jagah mujh ko
yahan to koi tera surat-ashna bhi nahin

dikha kuchh apni ziya tu hi dagh-e-nakaami
ki ab to jalwa-e-ummid ka pata bhi nahin

ilahi kis ka sahaara wufur-e-zof mein lun
labon pe ab to mere aah-e-na-rasa bhi nahin

wo ek tum ki mere muddaa-e-sar-ta-pa
wo ek main ki jise izn-e-iltija bhi nahin

na karwan ka pata hai na rah-rawan ka nishan
ajab hai rah-e-adam jis mein naqsh-e-pa bhi nahin

khayal-e-yar hi khizr-e-rah-e-mohabbat hai
na chhut jae to phir koi rahnuma bhi nahin

urus-e-dahr dikhati hai kyon jamal mujhe
mere junun ko to is but se wasta bhi nahin
