wo mauj-e-khunuk shahr-e-sharar tak nahin aai
dariyaon ki khushbu mere ghar tak nahin aai

sannate sajae gae gul-danon mein ghar ghar
khoe hue phulon ki khabar tak nahin aai

hum ahl-e-junun par utar jaenge lekin
kashti abhi sahil se bhanwar tak nahin aai

sad-shukr tera raushni-e-taba ki hum ko
barbaad kiya aur nazar tak nahin aai
