ek qadam sahra ki jaanib ek qadam ghar ki taraf
aankh rukti hi nahin hai ek manzar ki taraf

teri aankhon par hazaron she'r jis ne kah diye
ek zara chashm-e-‘inayat us sukhanwar ki taraf

be-khayali mein kahan teri gali mein aa gaya
main zaruri kaam se nikla tha daftar ki taraf

jaane kitne dasht-o-sahra ho gae mujh se khafa
main zara si der kya aaya samundar ki taraf
