jahan raqs karte ujale mile
wahin dil ke tute shiwale mile

na puchho bahaaron ke rahm-o-karam
ki phulon ke hathon mein chhaale mile

meri tira-bakhti aur un ki hansi
siyahi mein kirnon ke bhaale mile

na kuchh motiyon ki kami thi magar
bhanwar se hamein sirf haale mile

main wo raushni ka nagar hun jahan
charaghon ke chehre bhi kale mile

dimaghon se un ko mitaoge kya
kitabon se jin ke hawale mile

hamari wafaen thithurti rahen
tumhein rahmaton ke doshaale mile

thi 'rahi' ki manzil bhi sab se alag
use ham-safar bhi nirale mile
