hausle apne rahnuma to hue
hadse gham ka aasra to hue

be-wafa hi sahi zamane mein
hum kisi fan ki intiha to hue

wadi-e-gham ke hum khandar hi sahi
aane walon ka rasta to hue

kuchh to maujen uthi samundar se
be-sabab hi sahi khafa to hue

un ko apna hi gham sahi lekin
wo kisi gham mein mubtila to hue

khud ko begana kar ke duniya se
chand chehron se aashna to hue

khanda-e-gul hue ki shola-e-jaan
haal pe mere lab-kusha to hue

pattharon ke nagar mein ja ke 'nazar'
kam se kam sang-ashna to hue
