khud apne khun mein pahle nahaya jata hai
waqar khud nahin banta banaya jata hai

kabhi kabhi jo parinde bhi an-suna kar den
to haal dil ka shajar ko sunaya jata hai

hamari pyas ko zanjir bandhi jati hai
tumhaare waste dariya bahaya jata hai

nawazta hai wo jab bhi azizon ko apne
to sab se baad mein hum ko bulaya jata hai

hamin talash ke dete hain rasta sab ko
hamin ko baad mein rasta dikhaya jata hai
