safar hai mera apne dar ki taraf
meri ek zat-e-digar ki taraf

bhare shahr mein ek bayaban bhi tha
ishaara tha apne hi ghar ki taraf

mere waste jaane kya laegi
gai hai hawa ek khandar ki taraf

kinara hi katne ki sab der thi
phisalte gae hum bhanwar ki taraf

koi darmiyan se nikalta gaya
na dekha kisi ham-safar ki taraf

teri dushmani khud hi mail rahi
kisi rishta-e-be-zarar ki taraf

rahi dil mein hasrat ki 'bani' chalen
kisi manzil-e-pur-khatar ki taraf
