Musafir parinde

ufuq ta ufuq nilgun aasman
musafir parindon ki manzil kahan

bahut dur pichhe ko us bahr ke mawara
utarti rahi barf jamti rahi tah-ba-tah aashiyanon ke pas

tab nazare nazar-ashna
izn-e-awargi zad-e-afsurdagi de ke tharrae ba-chashm-e-tar

ki shayad bahut dur aage ko
us bahr ke mawara

zamurrad juDe sahilon ne suna ho salam id ka
dhup ke jashn aahaTen

naghma-e-garm KHurshid ka
ufuq ta ufuq nilgun aasman

koi shaKH-e-gul hai na koi munDer
ghaDi-do-ghaDi pankhuDi jaise par joD kar baiTh jaen jahan

ghaDi-do-ghaDi chahchahaen jahan
koi apne dukhte ko ko agar agar mein gir gaya

zara bhi fazaon ka daman na bhiga
na wahshi hawaon ka tufan ruka

sitare ba-dastur nilahaTon mein chamakte rahe
misl-e-gardab gardan shab-o-roz ki charKHiyan

musafir parindon ki manzil kahan
bahut dur pichhe ko us bahr ke mawara

har nai dil-kusha agni munjamid
zer-e-ahram yaKH-mahw-e-KHwab

saz nahron ke darbar-e-fasl-e-bahaaran ke
tabut sadr nag Tilon ke phulon ke

taj-o-guhar
munjamid zindagi ki fughan

bahut dur aage ko us bahr ke mawara
wo ek raushni ka jahan

wo ek gul pas-e-KHar-zar
wo ek dana-e-zer-e-dam

use dekhna aur ThiThakna bhi kya chiz hai
magar aah us moD par aaj parwaz-o-awaz thi

hasil-e-musht par
hasil-e-dastan
