nahin kuchh aur to apne qarin pahunch sakte
jahan hamari pahunch hai wahin pahunch sakte

kiran se tez hai raftar be-khayali ki
hamari gard ko tare nahin pahunch sakte

hamein kahin na pahunchne diya tasahul ne
badan na hota to shayad kahin pahunch sakte

tanazuraat pe rote ziyaada bolte kam
hamari chup ko agar nukta-chin pahunch sakte

umuq mein itni to hoti uchhaal ki quwwat
ki sath tak bhi tere tah-nashin pahunch sakte

na khak phankte wahmon ki band galiyon mein
kabhi jo tum sar-e-bab-e-yaqin pahunch sakte

talazumat se ho kar na jaana padta hamein
hum apni ramz ko apne tain pahunch sakte

nikal na pate agar aks-afrini se
to asl tak na shabih-afrin pahunch sakte

wahan ke shahr-e-ajaib mein ghumte mil kar
nashebi zine se zer-e-zamin pahunch sakte

pahunch mein hoti rasai bhi na-rasai bhi
kahin pahunch nahin sakte kahin pahunch sakte

to phir ye sari siyahat fuzul hai 'shahid'
agar hum apni faza tak nahin pahunch sakte
