safar mein gard chhaTi rasta dikhai diya

aur is ke baad mujhe dusra dikhai diya

zaban harf se mahrum ho gai hai meri

bataun kaise mujhe aur kya dikhai diya

mere hi KHwab tamanna ki lau mein jalte rahe

mera hi aks sar-e-aina dikhai diya

nikal ke aap se bahar dikhai kuchh na diya

dikhai kuchh na diya to KHuda dikhai diya

bhaTak raha tha main be-samt rahguzaron mein

phir ek roz tera naqsh-e-pa dikhai diya
