jahan-e-zat ke aafaq mein daricha mila
qafas khula to kahin khak mein daricha mila

kisi kitab ke alfaz qaid-khane hain
kahin phate hue auraq mein daricha mila

ye wahshaten tera diwana sah nahin paya
junun ko daman-e-sad-chaak mein daricha mila

hamare kamra-e-jaan mein andhere raushan the
to hum ko jumla-e-laulak mein daricha mila

latak raha hai jo manzar frame ke andar
mujhe wahin khas-o-khashak mein daricha mila

kisi ne kamra-e-khamoshi mein aman pai
kisi ko gufta-e-bebak mein daricha mila

nae makan ko aabaad karne ki khatir
zamin pe dar mile aflak mein daricha mila

dar-e-jahan-e-digar band hai har ek pe par
har ek dida-e-namnak mein daricha mila

labon ko kar ke muqaffal jo etakaf kiya
ba-der hujra-e-idrak mein daricha mila
