kaise kaise mere manzar ho gae
ashk aankhon mein samundar ho gae

zindagi aawargi tak aa gai
tum se bichhde aur be-ghar ho gae

koi manzil aur na qadmon ke nishan
hum tere raste ka patthar ho gae

apni barbaadi ka qissa mukhtasar
hadse apna muqaddar ho gae

aainon ki ye jasarat dekhiye
mere qamat ke barabar ho gae

badh gai 'khurshid' jab shohrat meri
doston ke ghair tewar ho gae
