uljhe uljhe dhage dhage se khayalon ki tarah
ho gaya hun in dinon tere sawalon ki tarah

apne dil ki wusaton mein har taraf bhatka phira
be-karan mubham sarabon mein ghazalon ki tarah

ye mera ehsas hai ya jabr-e-mausam ka asar
ab ki rut mahke nahin gul pichhle salon ki tarah

asr-e-hazir ki jabin par talkhiyan kanda huin
tan gae haalat apne gird jalon ki tarah

dasht-e-gham mein aandhiyon ke dar sahne ke liye
khushk patte uth rahe hain aaj dhaalon ki tarah

zulmat-e-maghrib ko 'khatir' koi ye paigham de
hum bhi ab ubhrenge mashriq se ujalon ki tarah
