thahar thahar ke mera intizar karta chal
ye sakht-rah bhi ab ikhtiyar karta chal

safar ki raat hai har gam ehtiyat barat
palat palat ke andheron pe war karta chal

liye ja kaam tu apni firakh-dasti se
qadam qadam pe mujhe zer-e-bar karta chal

idhar udhar jo khade ho gae hain tere liye
unhen bhi apne safar mein shumar karta chal

kisi thikane pe tujh ko agar pahunchna hai
to naqsh-e-pa ka mere e'tibar karta chal

na khinch dasht o jabal bahr o bar se qadmon ko
ye sab rukawaten hain in ko par karta chal
