kahin se koi harf-e-mo'tabar shayad na aae
musafir laut kar ab apne ghar shayad na aae

qafas mein aab-o-dane ki farawani bahut hai
asiron ko khayal-e-baal-o-par shayad na aae

kise malum ahl-e-hijr par aise bhi din aaen
qayamat sar se guzre aur khabar shayad na aae

jahan raaton ko pad rahte hon aankhen mund kar log
wahan mahtab mein chehra nazar shayad na aae

kabhi aisa bhi din nikle ki jab suraj ke hamrah
koi sahib-nazar aae magar shayad na aae

sabhi ko sahl-angari hunar lagne lagi hai
saron par ab ghubar-e-rahguzar shayad na aae
