pada hai zindagi ke is safar se sabiqa apna
jahan chalta hai apne sath khali rasta apna

kisi dariya ki surat bah rahi hun apne andar main
mera sahil badhata ja raha hai fasla apna

luta ke apna chehra tak rahi hun apna munh jaise
koi pagal ulat ke dekhta ho aaina apna

ye basti log kahte hain mere khwabon ki basti hai
ganwa baithi hun mein bad-qismati se hafiza apna

gae mausam mein main ne kyun na kati fasl khwabon ki
main ab jagi hun jab phal kho chuke hain zaiqa apna

fasana-dar-fasana phir rahi hai zindagi jab se
kisi ne likh diya hai taq-e-nisyan par pata apna
