kabhi khula hi nahin kitnon par ki kya hai safar
qadam-qadam pe tere jaise aaina hai safar

chalo batata hun al-mukhtasar ki kya hai safar
jahan se aae ho us samt lautna hai safar

kahin pe jangen ladin to kahin padao kiya
hum aise khana-ba-doshon ka aasra hai safar

thakan safar ki mera hausla badhati hai
na hon sa'ubaten rah mein to be-maza hai safar

kahin to hogi hi manzil main dhund lunga use
huzur mera pasandida mashghala hai safar

kisi kisi pe safar ta-hayat be-ma'ni
kisi kisi ke liye zindagi-numa hai safar

'ajib dukh hai hum ujde hue qabilon ka
hamare waste sangin masala hai safar
