dasht-e-ehsas mein hum itne akele kab the
dukh to pahle bhi the par itne ghanere kab the

hum to nikle the hawaon ka muqaddar le kar
hum kisi mod pe dam lene ko thahre kab the

jaise anjaan koi jaise koi begana
khud se katra ke hum aise bhi nikalte kab the

bughz ki dhup se hum bhag ke jate to kahan
shahr-e-ahbab mein wa dil ke dariche kab the

har taraf shakhon pe latki thi 'saba' khamoshi
raat ke ped mein aawaz ke jhule kab the
