safar mein hai jo azal se ye wo bala hi na ho
safar meñ hai jo azal se ye vo balā hī na ho
kivāḌ khol ke dekho kahīñ havā hī na ho
nigāh-e-ā.īna ma.alūm aks nā-mālūm
dikhā.ī detā hai jo asl meñ chhupā hī na ho
zamīñ ke gird bhī paanī zamīñ kī tah meñ bhī
ye shahr jam ke khaḌā hai jo tairtā hī na ho
na jā ki is se pare dasht-e-marg ho shāyad
palaTnā chāheñ vahāñ se to rāsta hī na ho
maiñ is ḳhayāl se jaatā nahīñ vatan kī taraf
ki mujh ko dekh ke us but kā jī burā hī na ho
kaTī hai jis ke ḳhayāloñ meñ umr apnī 'munīr'
mazā to jab hai ki us shoḳh ko patā hī na ho
safar mein hai jo azal se ye wo bala hi na ho
kiwaD khol ke dekho kahin hawa hi na ho
nigah-e-aina malum aks na-malum
dikhai deta hai jo asl mein chhupa hi na ho
zamin ke gird bhi pani zamin ki tah mein bhi
ye shahr jam ke khaDa hai jo tairta hi na ho
na ja ki is se pare dasht-e-marg ho shayad
palaTna chahen wahan se to rasta hi na ho
main is KHayal se jata nahin watan ki taraf
ki mujh ko dekh ke us but ka ji bura hi na ho
kaTi hai jis ke KHayalon mein umr apni 'munir'
maza to jab hai ki us shoKH ko pata hi na ho
