RaKHt-e-safar

KHali kamre mein mera raKHt-e-safar rakkha hai
chand arman hain poshida nihan-KHane mein

kirchiyan KHwab ki rakkhi hain hifazat se kahin
aur kuchh phul chhupa rakkhe hain anjaane mein

DhunDhti phirti rahi ruh kisi sathi ko
dar-ba-dar Thokaren khata raha pindar mera

apni miTTi se bhi uTThi nahin sondhi KHushbu
ghair ke des mein luTta raha sansar mera

ajnabi aankhon mein manus wafaon ka charagh
ek ummid pe jalta raha ghup raaton mein

jism miTTi ki tarah ghulta raha pani mein
rang be-rang hue jate the barsaton mein

teri ummid pe khola hua dar rakkha hai
KHali kamre mein mera raKHt-e-safar rakkha hai
