badi ibrat ki manzil hai zamin gor-e-ghariban ki
yahan apni haqiqat par nazar padti hai insan ki

yahi dhun thi kahin mera dil-e-gum-gashta mil jae
isi wahshat mein barson khak chhani ku-e-jaanan ki

jahan nabzen rukin dil sard ho do hichkiyan aain
samajh lije ki manzil aa gai gor-e-ghariban ki

na jaega mere dil se khayal-e-abru-e-dil-bar
ki teghon hi ke sae mein to hai jannat musalman ki

fana-e-ishq ho kar zinda-e-jawed hota hai
mita kar dekhiye hasti nahin mitti hai insan ki

yahan rone se ho maqsud hasil ghair-mumkin hai
chalo ab shamen bhi bujhne lagin gor-e-ghariban ki

'safir' ek khwab thi ye chand roza zindagi apni
ajal se mil gai tabir is khwab-e-pareshan ki
