in chatakhte pattharon par panw dharna dhyan se
dhal chuki hai sham wadi mein utarna dhyan se

jamid-o-sakit sahi diwar-o-dar bahre nahin
ghar ki tanhai ho phir bhi baat karna dhyan se

kan mat dharna kisi aawaz par kaisi bhi ho
koi roke bhi to raste mein thaharna dhyan se

dekhna saya kahin koi taaqub mein na ho
shahr ki viran galiyon se guzarna dhyan se

rah mein dekho koi manzar to rakhna zehn mein
phir kahin fursat mile to rang bharna dhyan se

kitne suraj tum se pahle is safar mein jal-bujhe
is jahan-e-tira-khatir par ubharna dhyan se

waqt ke sath apne andaze ghalat nikle 'bashir'
kis qadar mushkil hai pyaron ka utarna dhyan se
