dar-o-diwar pe sadiyon ka asar lagta hai
ghar mein koi nahin hota hai to dar lagta hai

soti aur jagti kirnen hain meri aankhon mein
ek jaisa hi mujhe sham-o-sahar lagta hai

koi aasan to nahin dard ki manzil pana
dil ki har baat mein patthar ka jigar lagta hai

phul sab ek se dilkash nahin hote lekin
us ki zulfon mein har ek phul magar lagta hai

warna ek bojh si lagti hai talash-e-manzil
ham-safar sath agar ho to safar lagta hai

jis pe so jate hain masum parinde 'sarwat'
bas wahi ped darakhton mein shajar lagta hai
