raston pe na baitho ki hawa tang karegi
bichhde hue logon ki sada tang karegi

aasab pe pahre na bitha subh-e-safar hai
tutega badan aur qaba tang karegi

mat tut ke chaho use aaghaz-e-safar mein
bichhdega to ek ek ada tang karegi

itna bhi use yaad na kar sham-e-ghariban
mahkegi faza bu-e-hina tang karegi

khwabon ke jazire se nikalna hi padega
jis samt gae bu-e-qaba tang karegi

pur-habs shabon mein abhi ninden nahin utrin
nind aai to phir baad-e-saba tang karegi

khud-sar hai agar wo to marasim na badhao
khuddar agar ho to ana tang karegi
