patte nahin kahin hari shakh-e-shajar nahin
is shahr mein bahaar ki koi khabar nahin

rang-e-khizan mein lakh milaun dilon ke rang
mauj-e-sharab-o-sher mein koi asar nahin

dube pade hain qulzum-e-khwab-o-khayal mein
mauj-e-rawan kahan hai kisi ko khabar nahin

dariya mein mauj ban ke kahan tak rahe koi
mauj-e-rawan ba-surat-e-diwar-o-dar nahin

ab manzil-e-wajud nahin dil ki kaenat
is ghar mein ek main hun koi baam par nahin

tu rahat-e-wajud hai tu ruh-e-kaenat
is ghar mein tu nahin hai to ye mera ghar nahin

dasht-e-talab hai khatm yahan naqa-e-nigah
ye wo zamin hai jis mein tumhaara guzar nahin
