pahle sau baar idhar aur udhar dekha hai tab kahii dar ke tumhein ek nazar dekha hai

har ek baat ko chup-chaap kyun suna jaa.e kabhi to hausla kar ke nahin kaha jaa.e

suna hai marte nahin pyaar men anaarkali to kaisa lagta hai deewaar men anaarkali

ham hain rahe-ummeed se bilkul pare pare ab intzaar aapka koi kare kare maine to yuñ hi apni tabiyat sunaai thii tum to lagin safaaiyaan dene are are

apni marzi se kahaan apne safar ke ham hain rukh hawaon ka jidhar ka hai udhar ke ham hain

jaane kis haal men ham hain ki ha men dekh ke log ek pal ke li.e rukte hain guzar jaate hain

vo khaar khaar hai shaakh-e-gulaab kii maanind main zakhm zakhm hooñ phir bhi gale lagaaun use

ab zameen par koi gautam na mohammad na maseeh aasmaanon se naye log utaare jaayen

ham tere shauq men yuñ KHud ko ganwa baithe hain jaise bacche kisi tyaohar men gum ho jaayen

ham dohri aziyyat ke giriftaar. musafir paanv bhi hain shal shauq-e-safar bhi nahin jaata
