puchte ho to suno kaise basar hoti hai
rat khairat k sadqe ki sahar hoti hai

sans bharne ko to jina nahin kahte ya rab
dil hi dukhta hai na ab asteen tar hoti hai

jaise jagi hui ankhon main chubhen kanch ke khwab
rat is tarah diwanon ki basar hoti hai

gam hi dushman hai mera gam hi ko dil dhundta hai
ek lamhe ki judai bhi agar hoti hai

ek markaz ki talash ek bhatakti khushbu
kabhi manzil kabhi tamhid-e-safar hoti hai
