tairega faza mein jo samundar na milega
dil sa bhi zamane mein shanawar na milega

sahil se to andaza-e-tufan bhi hai dushwar
tah mein jo na utroge to gauhar na milega

wabasta hai is bazm se hi ghar ka tasawwur
uth jaegi jab bazm to phir ghar na milega

parwaz khalaon mein mubarak tumhein lekin
ek bar bikhar kar to ye paikar na milega

sar phodne wale rahen wallah salamat
kuchh din mein ibaadat ko bhi patthar na milega

har zarra hai firdaus-e-nazar had-e-nazar tak
bedar na hona ki ye manzar na milega

sairab jo hain un ki hawas aur badhi hai
is bhid mein pyason ko samundar na milega

tum lutf-e-mulaqat ko khwabon mein basa lo
ye lamha masarrat ka bichhad kar na milega

har sher mein izhaar se ehsas ham-aghosh
is daur mein 'sahir' sa sukhan-war na milega
