safar se pahle sarabon ka silsila rakh aae
har ek mod pe aashob ek naya rakh aae

kahan bhatakti phiregi andheri galiyon mein
hum ek charagh sar-e-kucha-e-hawa rakh aae

tamam umr safar se gharaz rahi hum ko
har ikhtitam pe hum ek ibtida rakh aae

bhatak na jae musafir koi hamare baad
so rah-e-shauq mein hum apne naqsh-e-pa rakh aae

ye be-samaat o be-chehra basarat log
ye pattharon mein kahan aap aaina rakh aae
