hum dasht se har sham yahi soch ke ghar aae
shayad ki kisi shab tere aane ki khabar aae

malum kise shahr-e-tilismat ka rasta
kuchh dur mere sath to mahtab-e-safar aae

is phul se chehre ki talab rahat-e-jaan hai
phenke koi patthar bhi to ehsan mere sar aae

ta phir na mujhe tira-nasibi ka gila ho
ye subh ka suraj meri aankhon mein utar aae

ab aage alam aur koi hathon se le le
hum shab ke musafir the chale ta-ba-sahar aae
