ek din mujh se samundar ne kaha
kaun uthaega mera bar-e-giran

apni aashufta-sari ki khatir
main ne qurban kiya aish-e-jahan

raat ko chain na din ko aaram
umr nashad kati garm-e-fughan

muzmahil ho gae aaza mere
dast o pa mein na rahi tab o tawan

mauj ko khel se fursat hi nahin
is subuk sar ko meri fikr kahan

kuchh tawaqqo thi mujhe sahil se
wo magar nikla faqat reg-e-rawan

baadal aate hain chale jate hain
ek pal mein yahan ek pal mein wahan

is zamane mein ho kis se ummid
gham se begana samajh sakta hai

dard ka raaz mohabbat ki zaban
apne sine mein bitha lo mujh ko

ta ki main paun mashaqqat se aman
sun ke bechaare ki rudad-e-alam

kar liya main ne use dil mein nihan
aao dekho mere ashkon mein use

ek samundar hai karan-ta-ba-karan
