hum hi ne sikh liya rahguzar ko ghar karna
wagarna us ki to aadat hai dar-ba-dar karna

na apni rah thi koi na koi manzil thi
tabhi to chaha tha tujh ko hi ham-safar karna

thin garche gird mere khamushi ki diwaren
tumhaare waste mushkil nahin tha dar karna

tumhaari tark-o-talab jism-o-ruh ki uljhan
hamein bhi aa na saka khud ko mo'atabar karna

teri nigah-e-taghaful-shiar ke sadqe
hamein bhi aa hi gaya hai guzar-basar karna

jo ab ke dard utha dil mein aakhiri hoga
jo ho sake to use mera chaaragar karna

main chur chur hun dekho bikhar na jaun kahin
meri duaon ko itna na be-asar karna

bahaar aai hai is bar kuchh likhen hum bhi
sikhao hum ko bhi is dard ko shajar karna
