wo sab se aage andhere mein jo charagh thame khada hua hai
siyah raaton mein gum-shuda manzilon ko rasta dikha raha hai

jhulaste mausam mein munharif hai parae pedon ki chhaon tak se
ana ka rutba badhaya us ne wo apni sharton pe ji raha hai

hawa ki marzi diya bujhae ya khushbuon ko rihai de de
kahin pe diwar hai ye goya kahin kahin par ye rasta hai

tu jaanta hai teri nazar se har ek manzar ko dekhti hun
tujhe pata hai ki teri aankhon ka rang bilkul meri tarah hai

badalti rut mein badal gaya hai hamari nazron ka zawiya bhi
udas patton pe rup aaya khizan ka chehra damak raha hai

guzar chuka hai wo is sadak se badi khamoshi ke sath ab ke
ye koi dastak nahin hai dar par hawa ki sazish hai wahima hai

ye teri nisbat ka faiz hai jo tale hue hain 'azab sare
ye meri duniya mein ab talak jo bhi khair hai wo teri du'a hai
