chand mohmal si lakiren hi sahi ifsha rahun
nok-e-khama par ba-rang-e-raushnai kya rahun

koi shayad aa hi jae rasta takta rahun
ek sang-e-mil ban jaun ba-chashm-e-wa rahun

khai se sab ko bacha lun main na kuchla jaun to
ban ke khatre ka nishan raste mein istada rahun

dasht-e-tanhai mein yaadon ke darindon se darun
bach-bacha ke bhid mein aaun to phir tanha rahun

zarre zarre mein bikhar jaana hai takmil-e-hayat
mujh ko ye zeba nahin ab zat mein simta rahun

apni aawazen hi jab bar-e-samaat hain 'zahir'
chikhte gumbad mein behtar hai ki main gunga rahun
