sekhawat ka namood-afrooz manzar he nahi aa'ya
saa'khi bethay rahay koi guda'ghar he nahi aa'ya
ye soocha tha teri khaa'tir koi moti niqalooN gha
maiN jis rastey maiN tha is maiN samandar he nahi aa'ya
pahaN kar aa'eenay phirti rehi dewanghi apni
tamana thei bohat jis ki wo pather he nahi aa'ya
bharhiN bailaiN jharay paa'tey lagay jaalay dareechoN per
makeeN ay'saa gaya ghar se palat kar he nahi aa'ya
chamak jis ki bula laiti uqaa'booN ko nashay'mun se
fizaa'ooN maiN koi aisa kabooter he nahi aa'ya
dafenooN ki tarha dil maiN khizanay rah gaye saa'ray
samandar kai karay koi shana'war he nahi aa'ya
dee'ya he jab nahi ho gha hawa kis ko bhuja'ey ghi
chiraag-e-rah maiN ab k jala k he nahi aa'ya
saa'khi bethay rahay koi guda'ghar he nahi aa'ya
ye soocha tha teri khaa'tir koi moti niqalooN gha
maiN jis rastey maiN tha is maiN samandar he nahi aa'ya
pahaN kar aa'eenay phirti rehi dewanghi apni
tamana thei bohat jis ki wo pather he nahi aa'ya
bharhiN bailaiN jharay paa'tey lagay jaalay dareechoN per
makeeN ay'saa gaya ghar se palat kar he nahi aa'ya
chamak jis ki bula laiti uqaa'booN ko nashay'mun se
fizaa'ooN maiN koi aisa kabooter he nahi aa'ya
dafenooN ki tarha dil maiN khizanay rah gaye saa'ray
samandar kai karay koi shana'war he nahi aa'ya
