dur se hum ko laga tha be-zaban aab-e-rawan
agle hi pal tha sadaon ka jahan aab-e-rawan

ek suhani sham ke rangon ke ghere mein kahin
main meri tanhai yaad-e-raftagan aab-e-rawan

shakh se phulon ko khincha un ke apne aks ne
jaane ab le jaega un ko kahan aab-e-rawan

main bhi rahi hun mujhe apne safar ka raaz de
kis ki khatir ye talash-e-jawidan aab-e-rawan

ai safar ki rau mujhe dam-bhar ki fursat chahiye
ek lamhe ke liye ruk ja yahan aab-e-rawan
