har qarz-e-safar chuka diya hai
dasht aur nagar mila diya hai

juz ishq kise mili ye taufiq
jo paya use ganwa diya hai

pahle hi bahut tha hijr ka ranj
ab faslon ne badha diya hai

aabaadiyon se gae houn ko
sahraon ne hausla diya hai

diwar-ba-dast rah-rau the
kis ne kise rasta diya hai

bachhda to tasalli di hai us ne
kis dhund mein aaina diya hai

main bujh to gaya hun phir bhi mujh mein
raushan tere nam ka diya hai
