Nahin Milta dila Hum Ko Nishan Tak

nahin milta dila ham ko nishan tak

makan dhund aae us ka la-makan tak

bana har mu-e-tan khar-e-mughilan

sataya josh-e-vahshat ne yahan tak

hamari jaan ke pichhe pada hai

dil-e-nadan ko samjhaen kahan tak

ravan shab ko hua kya naqa-e-ruh

nazar aai na gard-e-karvan tak

zamin pe zalzala aaya to pahuncha

mire nalon ka ghaugha asman tak

mile hai dil ko zauq-e-bosa-e-lab

maza hai varna har shai ka zaban tak

jo rakhte the dimagh apna falak par

zamin par ab nahin un ka nishan tak

jalaya shama sa us shola-ru ne

gae ghul soz-e-gham se ustukhan tak

jahan ki sair ki ‘sayyah’ ham ne

na pahunche par sukhan ke qadr-dan tak
