dasht-e-ehsas mein aawaz-e-dara milti hai
mujh ko har sans mein tamhid-e-nawa milti hai

raat so jae to bedar hawa milti hai
ghar ki dahliz pe qadmon ki sada milti hai

tujh ko shayad nahin malum harif-e-jada
ye sadak dasht-e-bala-khez se ja milti hai

hum jise bechna chahen wo khariden kyon kar
zindagi hum se tu bazar mein kya milti hai

chand pane ko musir ho koi rota bachcha
aaina hath mein de do to jaza milti hai

ghar ke shishon pe tera nam likha hai jab se
dhup gul-dan ke phulon se khafa milti hai

tujh ko sochen bhi nahin aur kahani ki tarah
baat kyon kucha-o-bazar se ja milti hai
