Kya rabt ek dard se bante chale gae

kya rabt ek dard se bante chale gae
jangal mein jaise raste bante chale gae

kaDiyan kaDi quyud ki baDhti chali gain
hile rah-e-najat ke bante chale gae

honTon pe khil uTha to hua dagh-e-dil dua
kya kya suKHan ke silsile bante chale gae

kis surat-e-sabaat pe Thahri nigah-e-dil
ek raqs-e-rau mein TuTte bante chale gae

bote rahe lahu ke diye hum zamin mein
KHurshid aasman pe bante chale gae

'ali' muqable ka na koi udu raha
hum aap apne dusre bante chale gae
