qismat to dekho mah-e-mubin tak pahunch gae
ek shab ye hont un ki jabin tak pahunch gae

sadiyon ka fasla tha hamare liye magar
tum ek pal mein han se nahin tak pahunch gae

ye kis ke naqsh-e-pa pe chale ja rahe the hum
khwabon mein raat 'arsh-e-barin tak pahunch gae

daudenge sath sath ragon mein lahu ke ab
ye gham tumhaare qalb-e-hazin tak pahunch gae

baitha tha jis jagah pe wo mahfil mein gul-badan
hum bhi sarak sarak ke wahin tak pahunch gae

darta hun chhod den na kahin naqsh-e-pa yahan
'sayyad' wo dil ki narm zamin tak pahunch gae
