Badan mein pyaas na jaane kahan kahan se uthi
Sharar ki shakl mein ye aatish-e-rawaan se uthi
Jo uss ne rait pe likha tha hijr ka ek lafz
To ban ke hashr yahi rait khaakdaa’n se uthi
Andhera phir naye sooraj se haar jayega
Lakeer-e-aks-e-zeya ki jo bakeeraa’n se uthi
Akela chalna safar hai magar yeh yaad rahe
Bagola ban gayi jo dhool kaarwa’n se uthi
Thakan ko odhey huwe so gaya musafir bhi
Abad ki neend zameen se na aasmaa’n se uthi
