mere alfaz mein asar rakh de
sipiyan hain to phir guhar rakh de

be-khabar ki kahin khabar rakh de
hasil-e-zahmat-e-safar rakh de

manzilen bhar de aankh mein us ki
us ke pairon mein phir safar rakh de

chand-lamhe koi to susta le
rah mein ek do shajar rakh de

gar shajar mein samar nahin mumkin
us mein saya hi shakh-bhar rakh de

kal ke akhbar mein tu jhuti hi
ek to achchhi si khabar rakh de

tu akela hai band hai kamra
ab to chehra utar kar rakh de
