ye phailti shikastagi ehsas ki taraf
dariya rawan-dawan hain meri pyas ki taraf

us ka badan jhuka hua patthar ki bench par
apne qadam bhi mudte hue ghas ki taraf

dikhla rahi hai dhup bashashat ka aaina
aur chhanw khinchti hai mujhe yas ki taraf

ashiya ki lazzaton mein atakta hua badan
aur ruh ka khinchaw hai ban-bas ki taraf

sab ye samajh rahe the ki nirwan mil gaya
chakra rahi hai chil magar mas ki taraf
