hain yaad-ha-e-rafta ke diwar-o-dar kahan
wo sang-e-astan kahan wo rahguzar kahan

dasht-e-wafa mein dawat-e-diwangi kise
majbur gham ko rukhsat-e-ah-e-sahar kahan

un raston mein dhundte phirte hain naqsh-e-pa
ai ham-rahan-e-taza wo ahl-e-safar kahan

hai kaun jis ko nazr karen aansuon ke phul
le jaen aaj aabru-e-chashm-e-tar kahan

har ajnabi se puchh rahe hain nishan-e-rah
nau-waridan-e-shahr ko ghar ki khabar kahan

dar dar ki khak chhante ye din to kat gaya
ab fikr-e-shab hai dekhiye hogi basar kahan
