dil mein zakhmon ki nai fasl ugane nikle
dard ke phul bayaban mein khilane nikle

har imarat pe nae sal ka katba dekha
pahunche nazdik to aasar purane nikle

pahle har dar pe rakhe shoala-bayani ke diye
jal utha shahr to phir aag bujhane nikle

chand jab ruth ke rukhsat hua baam-o-dar se
log tapte hue suraj ko manane nikle

har qadam talkhi-e-tabir ke patthar barse
khwab-zaron ko kabhi hum jo sajaane nikle

dil ne jab qaid-e-talluq se rihai mangi
qurbaton ke liye kuchh aur bahane nikle
