safar ki khak ko pairon se hum udate gae
bade hi shauq se hum dasht mein tahalte gae

hawa ne lakh kiya ehtimam par khole
charagh-e-zar magar zor-o-shor jalte gae

hamein bhi raat ki wadi ko par karna tha
so jis taraf ko gaya chand sath chalte gae

kiwad dil ka khula yaad yaad aap aae
charagh aankh mein shab qatra qatra jalte gae

tamam umr kati aah-o-zari mein aakhir
zamin-bos hue dard dard jalte gae

wo ashk ashk meri aankh se bahe shab-bhar
jidhar ko dariya gaya malbe sath bahte gae

hujum-e-shahr ikattha tha zer hone ko
so chashm uthti gai aur dam nikalte gae

jo kisht-e-jaan pe utra tha yaad ka mausam
sitare baam-e-nazar kud kud marte gae
