rah-e-wafa mein rahe ye nishan-e-khatir bas
baghair nam ho mazkur har musafir bas

hazar wadi-e-tarik se guzarta hua
ye ishq chahta hai ho tera muasir bas

tawil marhala-e-justuju bhi tha darpesh
so ittifaq nahin tha hua wo zahir bas

phir is ke baad sabhi ho gaya idhar ka udhar
wo ek lamha-e-maujud mein tha hazir bas

ye ek jazira-e-be-rah bhi nahin rahna
to kya qarib hai wo majma-ul-jazair bas
