na thin to dur kahin dhyan mein padi hui thin
tamam aayaten imkan mein padi hui thin

kiwad khulne se pahle hi din nikal aaya
bashaaraten abhi saman mein padi hui thin

wahin shikasta qadamchon pe aag raushan thi
wahin riwayaten anjaan mein padi hui thin

hum apne aap se bhi ham-sukhan na hote the
ki sari mushkilen aasan mein padi hui thin

pas-e-charagh main jo samten dhundta raha 'turk'
wo ek lafz ke dauran mein padi hui thin
