nikale the kahaan jaane ke liye, pahunche hai kahaan maalum nahi 
ab apane bhatakate qadamon ko, manjil ka nishaan maalum nahi 

hamane bhi kabhi is gulshan men, ek khvaab-e-bahaara dekha tha 
kab phool jhare, kab gard udee, kab aai khizaan maalum nahi 

dil sholaa-e-gam se khaak hua, ya aag lagi aramanon mein 
kya cheez jali kyon seene se utha hai dhuaan maalum nahi 

barabaad vafa ka afasaana ham kise kahen aur kaise kahen 
khaamosh hain lab aur duniya ko ashkon ki zubaan maalum nahi
