shahr bezar rahguzar tanha
zindagi uth chali kidhar tanha

meri rag-rag mein dhul raqsan hai
mujh mein maujud hai khandar tanha

dasht ki na-tamam rahon par
koi sathi hai to shajar tanha

teri aahat saja ke palkon par
dhundhti hai tujhe nazar tanha

ho ke be-nur raat kahlai
chand ko dhundhti sahar tanha

sang bhi dil bhi aur thokar bhi
'arsh' tanha na ye safar tanha
