gharon ke tale sanbhaal rakkho safar ki saat qarib-tar hai
hawa ka rukh ye bata raha hai phir ek hijrat qarib-tar hai

jo fasl boi thi nafraton ki ab us se bharne lage hain aangan
amal jo tum ne kiya hai lagta hai us ki shamat qarib-tar hai

palat ke dil ki taraf hi aana hai phul chehre ki shoalagi ko
khushi ki shiddat bata rahi hai koi aziyyat qarib-tar hai

isi mein umren guzar din hain hum aise khush-fahm gham-zadon ne
ilaj hone ko hai dukhon ka sukun ki surat qarib-tar hai

bata raha hai shafaq ke udte ghubar mein sham ka sitara
utarne wali hai raat phir ek azab-e-zulmat qarib-tar hai
