kabhi to duub chale ham kabhi ubharte hue ḳhud apni zaat ke dariya ko paar karte hue yahin se raah

nadi ka kya hai jidhar chahe us dagar jaae magar ye pyaas mujhe chhoḌ de to mar jaae kabhi to

mulahiza ho miri bhi uḌaan pinjre men ata hue hain mujhe do-jahan pinjre men hai sair-gah bhi aur is men

kise jaana kahan hai munhasir hota hai is par bhi bhaTakta hai koi bahar to koi ghar ke bhitar bhi

na dhuup dhuup rahe aur na saaya saaya to junun-e-shauq agar phir vahin pe laaya to qadam baḌha to luun

uḌa ke phir vahi gard-o-ghubar pahle sa bula raha hai safar bar-bar pahle sa vo ek dhund thi aḳhir ko

vahm hi hoga magar roz kahan hota hai dhundh chhai hai to ik chehra ayaan hota hai shaam ḳhush-rang parindon

vaqt kar de na paemal mujhe ab kisi shakl men to dhaal mujhe aql valon men hai guzar mera meri

vo shakl vo shanaḳht vo paikar ki aarzu patthar ki ho ke rah gai patthar ki aarzu chhat ho falak

gutthi na sulajh paai go suljhai bahut hai jo ḳhuub luTai thi vo shai paai bahut hai phislan ye kinaron
