hum ek dusre ke is qadar khumar mein hain
bichhad chuke hain magar phir bhi intizar mein hain

kaman khinchne walo ko is ka ilm nahin
hadaf mein hain hi nahin hum to aar-par mein hain

ye baat sach hai magar hum hi der mein samjhe
na us ke aur na hum apne ikhtiyar mein hain

musafiron ki thakan ye bata rahi hai hamein
unhen khabar hi nahin hai wo kis dayar mein hain

wo ahl-e-zarf the saya talash karte rahe
hum ahl-e-kashf hain udte hue ghubar mein hain

jo khwab tut gae sabr de gae mujh ko
jo khwab bach gae wo chashm-e-ashk-bar mein hain
