khas-e-badan mein ba-rang-e-sharar aae koi
chamak uthun main gham-e-ab-dar aae koi

meri nazar mein chamakte hain garm-o-sard jahan
main jaanch lunga zar-e-kam-ayar aae koi

hai zakhm zakhm badan sang-e-harf-e-talkh se aaj
kahin se narmi-e-lab ki phuwar aae koi

main jal gaya dil-e-viran ki khushk wadi mein
faraaz-e-dard se phir aabshaar aae koi

ye dasht-e-tishna-labi chhod kar main kyun jaun
mere liye to yahin ju-e-bar aae koi

hai zoam-e-shoala to dekhe hawa-e-dard ka zor
charagh hai to sar-e-rahguzar aae koi

ek aur bhi hai jahan is jahan-e-jabr se dur
majal hai to wahan shahryar aae koi

ghanim-e-shab ko main zakhmon se chur kar aaya
sahar ka aakhiri neza bhi mar aae koi

thahar gae hain kahan mere ham-safar 'shahin'
khada hun der se jangal ke par aae koi
