jo karwan mein hai shamil na rahguzar mein hai
wo shakhs meri tamannaon ke dayar mein hai

sahar-shanas andhere ki shab-gazida sahar
na wo nigah mein apni na ye shumar mein hai

ye kya khalish hai ki lau de rahi hai jazbon ko
na jaane kaun sa shoala mere sharar mein hai

basi hai sukhe gulabon ki baat sanson mein
koi khayal kisi yaad ke hisar mein hai

rachi hui hai fazaon mein kis ke khun ki bu
ye kaisa jashn-e-bahaaran mere dayar mein hai

na jaane kaun se jhonke se jal-bujhun 'uzma'
mera wajud hawaon ke kar-zar mein hai
