is qadar mashghul the ek ru-e-taban ki taraf
hum ne dekha hi nahin is chaak-e-daman ki taraf

jab muqaddar mein andhera likh diya tu ne khuda
kaun dekhega bata sham-e-farozan ki taraf

hum bhi teri hi mohabbat mein yahan tak aae hain
aur teri sab tawajjoh ek mehman ki taraf

phir hua yun hum ne us se pher li nazren tamam
kab talak hum dekhte us aafat-e-jaan ki taraf

un ki har ek baat ka aisa asar mujh par hua
ruk gain nazren meri shahr-e-nigaran ki taraf
