Ajnabi rah-guzar

ajnabi rah-guzar sochti hai
koi darwaza khule

har taraf dard ke lambe sae
raste phail gae dur gae

dhaDkanen tez huin aur bhi tez
ajnabi rah-guzar sochti hai

koi mahjub nazara ubhre
aur majbur faqiron ki tarah

har qadam chalti hai dastak dastak
har nafas ek nai rah har ek samt mein bhagi lekin

jis tarah wasl ka har lamha judai ka safar
ajnabi rahguzar sochti hai

shayad ab aisa maqam aa jae
har qadam aap har ek rah-guzar ho manzil

KHud-ba-KHud dard ka har lamha ho lutf
ajnabi rah-guzar sochti hai

dar-ba-dar KHak-basar sochti hai
