talluq ke bahaw ka muqaddam istiara kis jagah hai
mere gahre samundar teri wahshat ka kinara kis jagah hai

bata ai roz-o-shab ki be-sabaati mein tawazun rakhne wale
jise kal tutna hai aaj wo raushan sitara kis jagah hai

bata sarsabz kheton se guzarne wale be-awaz dariya
achanak pech kha kar rukh badalne ka ishaara kis jagah hai

bashaarat jis ke hone ki mujhe pahle qadam par di gai thi
wo gahre abr ka saya masafat ka sahaara kis jagah hai

safar karna hai aur andha musafir sochta hai kis se puchhe
sar-e-hasti andhere raston ka goshwara kis jagah hai

na sath-e-ab par hai aur na tah mein is ke hain aasar koi
bata ai bahr-e-gham kaghaz ki kashti ko utara kis jagah hai
