Be-simt tha safar bhi thakne lage thay pair bhi,

Be-simt tha safar bhi thakne lage thay pair bhi,
sur per thi dhoop mere jalti thi rah-guzar bhi,

kuch dastakon ka fun bhi bhoola howa tha mujh ko,
aur log sub muqaffil rakhne lage thay dar bhi,

kuch wahem sa tha dil main kuch hosla bhi kum tha,
badli howi thi logon us shaqs ki nazar bhi,

katna he tha shajar ko is mousam-e-khizaan main,
patte bhi jharr chuke thay aur tha wo be-samr bhi,

is shaher ko raza jee! Kese samajh lain beena,
mitti main mil gaye hain hum jese ba-hunr bhi
