safar mein ek jag tamam ho gaya
ab apne ghar ka rasta bhi kho gaya

phir us ke pairahan ki bu na mil saki
wo mere khun mein aastin dubo gaya

wo neshtar jo us ke hath mein na tha
gaya to meri sans mein piro gaya

ab aansuon ki fasl katte raho
judaiyon ke bij wo to bo gaya

na jaane kis nagar aaj sham ho
sahar hui to ji udas ho gaya

guzar gai jo be-gharon pe kya kahen
zamin ko abr-e-barshgal dho gaya

meri to aankh nam na ho saki magar
wo mujh pe mere aansuon se ro gaya

likhega kaun is sadi ki dastan
har ek pal hazar sal ho gaya
