manzilen aain to raste kho gae
aabgine the ki patthar ho gae

be-gunahi zulmaton mein qaid thi
dagh phir kis ke samundar dho gae

umr bhar katenge faslen khun ki
zakhm dil mein bij aisa bo gae

dekh kar insan ki bechaargi
sham se pahle parinde so gae

an-ginat yaaden mere hamrah thin
hum hi 'zarrin' darmiyan mein kho gae
