bagule rahnuma hain baad-e-sahrai safar mein hai
bagūle rahnumā haiñ bād-e-sahrā.ī safar meñ hai
rukeñ kaise hamāre saath rusvā.ī safar meñ hai
ḳhabar bhī to nahīñ hai ab kidhar ko jā rahe haiñ ham
sarāboñ kā safar hai ābla-pā.ī safar meñ hai
ye bastī hai ki zindāñ kuchh bhī to palle nahīñ paḌtā
the kab pachhuā ke din aur kab se purvā.ī safar meñ hai
kahāñ se aa.iiñ kānoñ ke liye rim-jhim sī āvāzeñ
jaras ik lafz-e-pārīna hai shahnā.ī safar meñ hai
azal se tā-abad hai kār-farmā gardish-e-daurāñ
ki nādānī hazar meñ aur dānā.ī safar meñ hai
use sadiyāñ lageñgī niiñd se bedār hone meñ
abhī āġhāz kā mausam hai añgḌā.ī safar meñ hai
koī aahaT banātī hī nahīñ ummīd kā mausam
kuchh aisī chup lagī hai jaise goyā.ī safar meñ hai
akele-pan kā 'azmī' ho bhī to ehsās kaise ho
tasalsul se hamārī shām-e-tanhā.ī safar meñ hai
bagule rahnuma hain baad-e-sahrai safar mein hai
ruken kaise hamare sath ruswai safar mein hai
KHabar bhi to nahin hai ab kidhar ko ja rahe hain hum
sarabon ka safar hai aabla-pai safar mein hai
ye basti hai ki zindan kuchh bhi to palle nahin paDta
the kab pachhua ke din aur kab se purwai safar mein hai
kahan se aain kanon ke liye rim-jhim si aawazen
jaras ek lafz-e-parina hai shahnai safar mein hai
azal se ta-abad hai kar-farma gardish-e-dauran
ki nadani hazar mein aur danai safar mein hai
use sadiyan lagengi nind se bedar hone mein
abhi aaghaz ka mausam hai angDai safar mein hai
koi aahaT banati hi nahin ummid ka mausam
kuchh aisi chup lagi hai jaise goyai safar mein hai
akele-pan ka 'azmi' ho bhi to ehsas kaise ho
tasalsul se hamari sham-e-tanhai safar mein hai
