nikal raha hun yaqin ki had se guman ki jaanib
safar hai mera zamin se aasman ki jaanib

munder par koi chashm-e-tar thi ki aaina tha
sitara-e-sham dekhta tha makan ki jaanib

ye khwab hai ya tilism koi ki khushk patte
khinche chale ja rahe hain aab-e-rawan ki jaanib

koi to upar se bojh dala gaya hai warna
jhuka hua aasman hai kyun khak-dan ki jaanib

to phir mere sath us ka chalna muhaal thahra
dhyan rahta tha us ka sud-o-ziyan ki jaanib

sukunat-e-qalb khali sine pe aise utri
aman khudi chal ke aa gai be-aman ki jaanib
