ek harf-e-fasurda dagh mein hai
ek baat bujhe charagh mein hai

ek nam lahu ki gardishon mein
tufan mein dolta safina

dube na bhanwar ke par utre
ek sham ki jis ke baam-o-dar ko

haari hui subh se shikayat
ruthe hue chand ki tamanna

ek rah-naward jo ye chahe
panw na had-e-wafa se nikle

sar se na safar ka bar utre
