sang us ke hi safar ho kyunkar
zist pahle si basar ho kyunkar

ji jo chahe hai ki mar jaun main
raat se pahle sahar ho kyunkar

ab kahan quwwat-e-goyai hai
un ki baaton ka asar ho kyunkar

zindagi ek safar hai sach hai
ho guman koi magar ho kyunkar

jab jiye koi kisi ki khatir
is ko apni bhi khabar ho kyunkar

dil hi pahlu se nikal jae jo
aah hairan bhi jigar ho kyunkar

ruh sarshaar kare wo 'hasrat'
mai-kade par bhi nazar ho kyunkar
