sadiyon ke baad hosh mein jo aa raha hun main
lagta hai pahle jurm ko dohra raha hun main

pur-haul wadiyon ka safar hai bahut kathin
le ja raha hai shauq chala ja raha hun main

khali hain donon hath aur daman bhi tar tar
kyun ek musht-e-khak pe itra raha hun main

shauq-e-visal-e-yar mein ek umr kat di
ab baam o dar saje hain to ghabra raha hun main

shayad waraq hai padh liya koi hayat ka
ban kar faqih-e-shahr jo samjha raha hun main

sahil pe baitha dekh ke maujon ka iztirab
uljhi hui si gutthiyan suljha raha hun main
