ab kis liye jahan-e-kharabi mein ghumna
wo so gai to us ne na dekha ki us ke baad

kitni badi qatar khule zawiyon ki thi
waqt aa gaya tha wasl-o-mukafat wasl ka

unchi zamin pe rail ki khidki ke sath sath
ghaaron mein bistaraon mein zamin par razai mein

ab kis liye jahan-e-kharabi mein lautna
so aashiyan ko misl-e-kabutar udaiye

aur din guzar chale to ye bazu samet kar
angushtari ko aaine par mar soiye

waqt aa gaya hai wasl-o-mukafat-e-wasl ka
