Humne to yahi marka mara hai safar mein

hum ne to yahi marka mara hai safar mein
manzil ki tarah baiTh gae rahguzar mein

wo sham-e-shab-anjam ki surat to nahin tha
ek pal mein shab-e-nisf utar aai hai ghar mein

ai nala-e-dil-doz taDap uTThi KHamoshi
hai marg-e-tamasha kisi aabaad nagar mein

hum KHak ke tude pe khaDe puchh rahe hain
kya lutf mila tum ko samundar ke safar mein

hum saya-e-diwar-e-shikasta mein paDe the
DhunDoge to paoge hamein saya-e-dar mein

ye marhala-e-qat-e-talluq to kaThin tha
ek dard ka dariya bhi hai ab dida-e-tar mein

ek umr ke rishton ko fana pal mein mili hai
hum DhunDne kya nikle hain sadiyon ke safar mein

tarik-o-KHunuk KHak ka paiwand hue hain
hum tol ke lae the jinhen lal-o-gohar mein

yun teri tarah dur ki manzil ke musafir
sab kuchh to nahin chhoD ke jate kabhi ghar mein
