safar ke bab mein shamil hua ek na-safar main bhi
bahakti aandhiyan hain aur charagh-e-rahguzar main bhi

udhar bhi koi sozish koi sadma shor-asa hai
sukut-e-be-hamiyyat se pareshan hun idhar main bhi

ajab hai marhala yaro tilism-e-na-rasai ka
jo tutega ye sannata to jaunga bikhar main bhi

sar-e-mizhgan lahu ki pesh-qadmi rang lai hai
ki hun ab halqa-e-dida-waran mein ek khabar main bhi

zara dekhun sawal-e-wasl par kya rang ho un ka
tere hi sath chalta hun thahar ai nama-bar main bhi

tumhaare hi tanaffus se ye subhen sans leti hain
tumhaare lams se raushan hain ye shams-o-qamar main bhi

yahan har har qadam ibrat-kade hain dida-e-bina
hadappa misr babil nainwa ur kashghar main bhi
