Safar mein koi rukawaT nahin gada ke liye

safar mein koi rukawaT nahin gada ke liye
khula hua hai har ek rasta hawa ke liye

ye puchhti hai har ek subh aa ke mauj-e-nasim
koi payam kisi yar-e-ashna ke liye

tawaf-e-dair-o-haram se to ho chuke farigh
chalo ziyarat-e-yaran-e-ba-safa ke liye

main kyun na ba-sar-e-uryan phirun tah-e-aflak
ki faKHr hai sar-e-uryan barahna-pa ke liye

ye shahr shahr-e-baKHilan hai ai dil-e-bimar
yahan to zahr bhi milta nahin dawa ke liye

shikar DhunDh ke lai kahan kahan kahan se hayat
darinda-e-ajal-o-azdar-e-qaza ke liye

ajib baat ki manzil ka jab bhi qasd hua
bajae panw ke hath uTh gae dua ke liye

sitam-zarif zamane ne chun liya hum ko
girani-e-nafs-o-garmi-e-nawa ke liye

siwae kashti-e-langar gusista kya hogi
ghariq-e-bahr ki saughat na-KHuda ke liye

hamin mein kyun hadaf-e-tanz ai jamal-e-bahaar
sabhi ne phul chune the teri qaba ke liye

na zad-e-rah na rahbar na mezban na sarae
hum aise baadiya-gardan-e-be-nawa ke liye

jahan jahan bhi hue par-kusha hum ahl-e-zamin
zamin ke bojh hi sabit hue KHala ke liye
