ye kis muhim par chale the hum jis mein raste pur-khatar na aae
hamein nawaza na wahshaton ne hamein junun ke hunar na aae

mujhe bahut tez dhup darkar hai mohabbat ke is safar mein
kabhi kahin sar pe saya karne koi ghanera shajar na aae

andheri shab ka ye khwab-manzar mujhe ujalon se bhar raha hai
to raat itni tawil ho jae ta-qayamat sahar na aae

jahan hon teri hi raunaqen aur tere nazare hi chaaron jaanib
us anjuman ka pata bata de jahan se meri khabar na aae

jo laut aae koi safar se to phir musafir kahan raha wo
wahi musafir hai jo safar mein hai aur kabhi laut kar na aae

wo aasmanon mein rahne wala sunega ek din teri 'alina'
sada ko apni buland rakh tu dua mein jab tak asar na aae
