junun mein hum rah-e-khauf-e-khatar se guzre hain
jidhar se koi na guzre udhar se guzre hain

saf-e-salib jahan intizar karti thi
masih-e-waqt usi rahguzar se guzre hain

main dub dub ke ubhra hun har talatum se
hazar sail-e-rawan mere sar se guzre hain

jo kal the baithe hue gesuon ke sae mein
wo aaj tapti hui rahguzar se guzre hain

sukut-e-sham mein yaadon ke karwan 'mahir'
dil-e-tabah ke ujde nagar se guzre hain
