sitara-chashm hai aur mehrban hai
vo meri khaak par ab asman hai
tire aage mira khamosh hona
yaqin ke tuut jaane ka saman hai
hadd-e-aindagan par ek lamha
miri majburiyon ka raz-dan hai
hava se rishta-e-jan kya nibhaun
kisi ki yaad hi jab bad-guman hai
tira milna na milna ek hi tha
ye tanhai to ik ju-e-ravan hai
