kahin sahra mein jo dariya dekhen
hum bhi aaine mein chehra dekhen

hum mohabbat ke liye khak udaen
log galiyon mein tamasha dekhen

sabr aa jae agar apna ye haal
jin ki khatir hai wo tanha dekhen

band aankhon mein badi wusat hai
band aankhon hi se duniya dekhen

ghar hai mausam se bachana mushkil
jaanib-e-abr-o-hawa kya dekhen

itni diwar-e-gulistan na badhao
ki bayaban mera rasta dekhen

ab yahi shakl-e-tamanna hai ki hum
umr bhar khwab-e-tamanna dekhen

hum bashar hain na ki sahra ke shajar
jo sada apna hi saya dekhen
