kiye hain raste hamwar jaane walon ke

kiye hain raste hamwar jaane walon ke
pada na panw main is bar jaane walon ke
main jang jitne wala wo pahla aadmi tha
jo nauhe likh raha tha haar jaane walon ke


kisi kisi ka koi tir surkh-ru thahra
zamin pe dher hain bekar jaane walon ke
wahi thi sadgi har bar pichhe walon ki
bahane the wahi do chaar jaane walon ke


purane 'ahd ki matruk si imarat hun
mujhi mein dhundhiye aasar jaane walon ke
ye kya ki un ko bhi aasan hamein hi karna tha
the jitne marhale dushwar jaane walon ke


main thodi dur to is waste bhi sath chala
parakhne the mujhe kirdar jaane walon ke
karunga band sabhi wapsi ke darwaze
main chehre dekh lun ek bar jaane walon ke
