faza mein shor-e-talatum ho rang-o-bu bhi ho
zamin-e-shahr-e-sitamgar lahu lahu bhi ho

har ek maqam maqam-e-sada nahin hota
khamosh main bhi rahun aur khamosh tu bhi ho

fasil-e-wahm-o-guman ke nishan bhi na rahen
maza to jab hai kisi roz du-badu bhi ho

hon manzilen tere zer-e-qadam to lazim hai
tadap ho dil mein koi khas justuju bhi ho

main chahta hun wo mera rafiq ho jae
wo dil se hath milae ye us mein khu bhi ho

hain muntazir ye hawaen ki dhajjiyan ud jaen
to apna chaak-e-gareban kahin rafu bhi ho

yun ashk aate hain aankhon mein did se pahle
nigah did ke qabil ho ba-wazu bhi ho
