mere panw ke niche bhi zamin hai
mujhe hijrat ka koi dukh nahin hai

kabhi na-ashna tujhe sare raste
magar har rasta ab dil-nashin hai

kabhi sare hi mausam ajnabi the
magar ab dil mein har mausam makin hai

kabhi mera badan hi tha yahan par
magar ab dil ki duniya bhi yahin hai

kabhi har sham be-manzar yahan thi
magar har sham ab behad hasin hai

to kya main naqsh-e-mazi bhul baitha
nahin aisa nahin aisa nahin hai

hawaen dost ban jaen jahan par
wahi 'ashfaq' dil ki sar-zamin hai
