dasht-e-umr
paar karnā hai mujh ko dasht-e-umr
merī manzil-e-adam hai us ke paar
aage kitnā tavīl rasta hai
aur kitnā kaThin nahīñ ma.alūm
shauq-e-manzil mujhe na zauq-e-safar
ham-safar hai na hai koī rahbar
aur har gaam par sarāb koī
hai mirī tishnagī baḌhāne ko
chal rahā huuñ meñ be-dilī ke saath
ye safar mujh pe hai garāñ lekin
maiñ use tark kar nahīñ saktā
maiñ to pal-bhar Thahar nahīñ saktā
ye muqaddar hai yā ki majbūrī
chalte rahnā hai mujh ko har sūrat
par karna hai mujh ko dasht-e-umr
meri manzil-e-adam hai us ke par
aage kitna tawil rasta hai
aur kitna kaThin nahin malum
shauq-e-manzil mujhe na zauq-e-safar
ham-safar hai na hai koi rahbar
aur har gam par sarab koi
hai meri tishnagi baDhane ko
chal raha hun mein be-dili ke sath
ye safar mujh pe hai garan lekin
main use tark kar nahin sakta
main to pal-bhar Thahar nahin sakta
ye muqaddar hai ya ki majburi
chalte rahna hai mujh ko har surat
