tanha har ek rah se guzar jaana chahiye
jaise jiye hain waise hi mar jaana chahiye

jaane ye dil ka dard kahan tak sataega
dariya chadhe to us ko utar jaana chahiye

bujh kar wajud-e-shoala sulagta hai kis liye
main rakh hun to mujh ko bikhar jaana chahiye

aawargi mein kab se guzarti hai raat bhi
aakhir kabhi to sham ko ghar jaana chahiye

ai dosto khade ho mere gird kis liye
koi batao mujh ko kidhar jaana chahiye

har jalwa-e-jamal se tang aa chuka hai ji
ek roz zindagi se bhi bhar jaana chahiye

'jamshed' sun rahe ho safar ki pukar kya
tufan ko yun na rah mein thahar jaana chahiye
