jahan-e-fikr mein misl-e-hawa chalta raha hun main
liye gard-e-khirad chaaron disha chalta raha hun main

suragh-e-agahi ko main koi manzil samajh baitha
sarab-e-aql ki jaanib sada chalta raha hun main

naward-e-kaenat-e-nau hun lekin ajnabi sa hun
mashini daur se hat kar zara chalta raha hun main

mujhe tabir ki khwahish thi ya shayad nahin bhi thi
alam khwabon ka le kar ja-ba-ja chalta raha hun main

agar main chhod deta dil kabhi ka bujh gaya hota
jala kar tirgi mein ye diya chalta raha hun main

thakan ne aa liya tha jism tab sochen tawana thin
jahan mein ruk gaya tha ye khala chalta raha hun main

bala ki gardishen thin soch mein jo chha gain mujh par
bana ke zindagi ko daera chalta raha hun main

abhi kitne marahil aur hain meri masafat ke
mujhe kuchh to bata de ai khuda chalta raha hun main
