musalsal regzaron ka safar hai
mohabbat asl mein kar-e-digar hai

haqiqat kya hai aur kya hai fasana
ye sab kuchh munhasir haalat par hai

ragon mein aag si bhar de to sahra
sukun se nind aa jae to ghar hai

dayar-e-dida-o-dil mein abhi tak
khushi na-mo'tabar gham mo'atabar hai

jo kal sahra-nawardi par tha mail
wo ab minnat-kash-e-diwar-o-dar hai

azal se hun saza-war-e-masafat
safar paiham safar paiham safar hai

sarapa tifl-e-nadan 'raaz' ban ja
khayal-e-khatir-e-ahbab gar hai
