ai mere chaaragaro isa-nafas
aasmanon se pare anfus-o-afaq ki sarhad se udhar

meri parwaz meri rahguzar jati thi
khwahish-e-duniya-o-tan-asani

noch dalegi mere par mujhe ma'lum na tha
ab rag-o-pai mein lahu hai na koi aag na sozish baqi

biphri maujon ne sukun odh liya hai kab ka
sahil-e-jaan pe kisi nam ka nishan tak bhi nahin

aag ka zikr hi kya koi dhuan tak bhi nahin
sarsar-e-waqt ne andaz badal dale hain

khak ab khak ki khurak hui jati hai
