aks kya dida-e-tar mein dekha
hum ne dariya ko bhanwar mein dekha

sar-e-manzil koi manzil na mili
ek safar aur safar mein dekha

nazar aaya kabhi bazar mein ghar
kabhi rasta koi ghar mein dekha

surakh-ru jang se laut aaya tha
khun mein lat-pat jise ghar mein dekha

jaane kab aa ke yahan baithe the
apna saya bhi shajar mein dekha

ab bhi chipka hai meri aankhon mein
jo dhuan shama sahar mein dekha

aag kis des lagi hai ab ke
phir dhuan apne nagar mein dekha

ek hi jast mein hum ne 'hamdam'
fasla dasht se dar mein dekha
