khushi se shauq se bar-e-alam uthana hai
musibaton mein bhi rah rah ke muskurana hai

mujhe to sahil-e-maqsud ki tamanna hai
safina hijr-e-hawadis se le ke jaana hai

tum apne tarz-e-taghaful ko bhi badal dalo
tumhein khabar nahin badla hua zamana hai

mujhe to jazb-e-jigar se ya aah-e-paiham se
kisi tarah se tasawwur mein un ko lana hai

nahin hai baad-e-mukhalif ka khauf ai manzar
charagh tund hawaon mein bhi jalana hai
