patte tamam halqa-e-sarsar mein rah gae
hum shakh-e-sabz mein shajar-e-tar mein rah gae

likh lena is qadar wo safine nahin mere
sahil pe rah gae jo samundar mein rah gae

us lazzat-e-safar ko main ab un se kya kahun
jo saya-ha-e-sarw-o-sanobar mein rah gae

aasar-e-yak-kharaba-e-abaad ho ke hum
sinon mein rah na pae to patthar mein rah gae

bahar hi chhod aae wo chehra jo khas tha
ek aam aadmi ki tarah ghar mein rah gae

ruswa unhen badan ke taqazon ne kar diya
kya log the jo tut ke pal bhar mein rah gae

tum to ana ka ek jazira ho soch lo
aise kai jazire samundar mein rah gae
