kahin dua to kahin harf-e-iltija thahri
main apne aap mein dubi to be-sada thahri

main jaanti hun salamat nahin koi daman
ye raushni bhi kahan kis ka aaina thahri

safar tha shart magar jab bhi ek nam aaya
qadam to chalte rahe ruh ja-ba-ja thahri

tu darmiyan mein mila darmiyan mein chhut gaya
jo ibtida thi meri hadd-e-intiha thahri

hawa ka hath pakad kar guzar gai khushbu
main teri rah mein thahri agar to kya thahri

sabhi hain khush mere chehre pe kuchh kharashen hain
koi nigah kahan dard-ashna thahri

phir us ke ba'd ghutan ne mujhe nihaal kiya
mere qarib zara der ko hawa thahri

safar nasib raha sirf tere nam ke sath
teri nazar mein magar phir bhi bewafa thahri

qarib aane ki koshish to us ne ki 'usha'
main us ke haq mein magar khud hi fasla thahri
