yahi to ek shikayat safar mein rahti hai
hawa-e-gard musalsal nazar mein rahti hai

jaza-e-kawish-e-tamir ye mili hai hamein
sada-e-tesha sada sath ghar mein rahti hai

hunar kisi mein ho qismat hai us ki dar-badari
ki aab-o-tab-e-guhar kab guhar mein rahti hai

samaaton ka payambar hi ban sake to sune
wo dastan jo lab-e-chashm-e-tar mein rahti hai

har ek subh pe maqtal ka ho raha hai guman
na jaane kaun si surkhi khabar mein rahti hai
