na manzil ka tayyun na raston ka pata
sulagti dhup tapte pattharon ke sine par

kabhi mila na milega kisi ka naqsh-e-pa
asir-e-sail-e-guman hai urus-e-umr-e-rawan

libas tang lahu rang
mauj-e-khun pyasi

sada-ba-sahra hain chikhen darida jism-e-zamin
tamam dil-zada chehre bujhi bujhi nazren

tamam bikhre irade dhuan dhuan yaaden
quran-o-did ka saya lahu ki gardish par

pasheman dushman-e-adam khud apni sazish par
hawa mein aag mein pani mein tutte rishte

shikasta qasr-e-mohabbat udas naslon ka
shikasta sans ki abtar si koshish-e-paiham

wajud dhundne ki hadson ke sahra mein
wajud dhundne ki faislon ki wadi mein

shikasta sans ki sai-e-garan garan-maya
ek iztirab-e-tajassus fasurdagi uljhan

khayal-o-khwab ki lazzat haqiqaton ki chubhan
shikasta sans ki sai-e-garan ka sarmaya

na manzilon ka tayyun na raston ka pata
sulagti dhup tapte pattharon ke sine par

kabhi mila na milega kisi ka naqsh-e-pa
