ek aisa moD sar-e-rahguzar bhi aaega

ek aisa mod sar-e-rahguzar bhi aaega
wufur-e-khauf mein lutf-e-safar bhi aaega
ye us ka shahr hai us ki mahak batati hai
zara talash karo us ka ghar bhi aaega


isi yaqin par har zulm sahte rahte hain
ki shakh-e-sabr pe ek din samar bhi aaega
qarib-e-manzil-e-jaanan surur-e-dil ke sath
junun ki fitna-taraazi se dar bhi aaega


khule rahenge dariche is aas par ghar ke
kabhi to jhonka hawa ka idhar bhi aaega
chhupae phirne se kab ishq-o-mushk chhupte hain
chadhega chand to sab ko nazar bhi aaega


ab us ke band kiwadon ke pas baith rahen
jo shakhs ghar se gaya hai wo ghar bhi aaega
sarishk-e-khun ki tarah lafz aankh se tapken
to phir dua mein 'munawar' asar bhi aaega
