takra rahi hain tez hawaen chatan se
bahar na jao apne shikasta makan se

wo raat bhar charagh ki lau dekhta raha
imkan tarashta hai jo apne guman se

azm-e-safar hai dhup ka sahra hai aur main
dariya to sath chhod gaya darmiyan se

wo mausam-e-khizan ki thakan hi mein jal gae
bahar khile jo phul tere saeban se

ek umr ho gai hai ki darta raha hun main
raushan charagh se kabhi andhe makan se

gahre samundaron mein sitara na tha koi
sahil ki sham mil na saki baadban se

diwar aaine ki hai shishe ke baam-o-dar
lekin ghubar uthta hai mere makan se
