hijraton ki god mein palte rahe
the wafaon ke diye jalte rahe

dagh-e-hijrat se mili taskin-e-jaan
hasraton mein log kuchh jalte rahe

jin ko dawa tha rahenge sath sath
waqt-e-rukhsat hath hi malte rahe

maujzan gum-gashta manzil ki lagan
karwan-dar-karwan chalte rahe

ek ziya-pashi muhit-e-bazm thi
dagh-ha-e-dil jahan jalte rahe

eqtidar-o-sarwat-o-satwat sabhi
umr-e-rafta ki tarah dhalte rahe

dekhna 'sadiq' maal-e-dostan
nar-e-bughz-o-kin mein jo jalte rahe
