kabhi yun bhi karo shahr-e-guman tak le chalo mujh ko
jahan tak raushni hai tum wahan tak le chalo mujh ko

bhatakta ja raha hun rah-rau milta nahin koi
ghubar-e-rah mere karwan tak le chalo mujh ko

gham-e-awargi se main shikasta hota jata hun
parindo tum hi apne aashiyan tak le chalo mujh ko

khamoshi jhel li main ne rihai ki ghadi aai
sukhan ke waste lafz-o-bayan tak le chalo mujh ko

kisi tabir ki manzil se ya to aashna kar do
nahin to phir usi khwab-e-giran tak le chalo mujh ko

'taraaz' ab to tahaffuz ki koi surat nahin milti
mere rahbar kisi ja-e-aman tak le chalo mujh ko
