ba-maslahat hi sahi raaz-dan zaruri hai
rah-e-wafa mein koi mehrban zaruri hai

jo tu shajar hai to mujh ko panah de jaanan
musafiron ke liye saeban zaruri hai

baghair nam ke tere nahin meri pahchan
zamin ke waste ek aasman zaruri hai

ye kis se puchhen ki izhaar-e-arzu karna
kahan nahin hai zaruri kahan zaruri hai
