chhane honge sahra jis ne wo hi jaan saka hoga
mitti mein hum jaise mile hain kam koi khak hua hoga

ulte sidhe girte-padte chal padte hain is liye hum
manzil par le jaane wala koi to naqsh-e-pa hoga

itni saj-dhaj se jo chale the qafile wo hain thahar gae
hoga hawa-e-sahra jaisa aage jo bhi gaya hoga

kuchh hone se an-hone se farq to padne wala nahin
ho nahin paya ab tak kuchh bhi hoga bhi to kya hoga

mud ke jo aa nahin paya hoga us kuche mein ja ke 'zafar'
hum jaisa be-bas hoga hum jaisa tanha hoga
