mere sathi tere aur mere darmiyan
kis qadar faslon ki fasilen khadi hain yahan

mera virana ho ya tera gulsitan
har qadam par hazaron saliben gadi hain yahan

aarzuon ke sae hain phir bhi rawan
hasil-e-zindagi hasil-e-bandagi

aansuon ki jalan hasraton ka dhuan
har ubharti hui raat ki tirgi

teri afshan se tare churaati rahi
mere aangan ko aa kar sajati rahi

sham-e-hasti magar dagmagati rahi
dil pukara kiya raushni raushni

kohr-alud rahon pe chalte hue
har qadam par tujhe main ne aawaz di barha

meri aawaz ne khud pukara mujhe
kho gai in khalaon ki yakh-bastagi mein sada

hijr ke marhale dard ke silsile
karb ki aandhiyan dil ka bujhta hua ek diya

tere honton ki kaliyan mahakti rahin
aankh roti rahi hont hanste rahe

jaane kis manzil-e-zist par aa gae
teri yaadon ke mahtab gahna gae
