ye kaun shakhs aaj apne darmiyan nahin raha
ki jis sabab se mere sar pe saeban nahin raha

main qaid-e-jism chhod kar nikal chuka nae safar
jise talashte ho tum nahin miyan nahin raha

zamin ke basiyon ne kab nahin kaha khuda khuda
mujhe bata khuda kahan raha kahan nahin raha

ye zindagi ke sath ek silsila raha ajab
zamin mili agar to sar pe aasman nahin raha

rawan raha hai jis tarah ye aab meri aankhon se
yaqin karo yun bahr-e-nil mein rawan nahin raha

zamin pe chaar-su faza ye phunkti rahi diye
ye kab hua ki shahr mein kabhi dhuan nahin raha

rawan baras mein aab yun ajab hua ulat palat
chahaar samt koi ek bhi makan nahin raha
