asir-e-zat hun apne badan ke andar main
rihai qaid-e-anasir se paun kyun-kar main

guzar gae kai tufan qarib se ho kar
khada hua sar-e-sahil hun kab se shashdar mein

kise aziz nahin apne baam-o-dar lekin
hua hun soch samajh kar hi kuchh to be-ghar main

safar mein rah gai sharm-e-barahnagi meri
ghubar-e-rah ki odhe hue hun chadar main

tarashta main khud apne nae nae paikar
karam se aap ke hota jo dast-e-but-gar main

mere wajud ki had hi nahin koi lekin
ye aur baat ba-zahir nahin samundar main

safar hayat ka tai ho raha hai ai 'raghib'
hua sawar anasir ke jab se rath par main
