dekh aa kar ki tire hijr meñ bhī zinda haiñ

tujh se bichhḌe the to lagtā thā ki mar jā.eñge

dekh aa kar ki tere hijr mein bhi zinda hain

tujh se bichhDe the to lagta tha ki mar jaenge

ham dil se rahe tez havāoñ ke muḳhālif

jab tham gayā tūfāñ to qadam ghar se nikālā

hum dil se rahe tez hawaon ke muKHalif

jab tham gaya tufan to qadam ghar se nikala

paañv us ke bhī nahīñ uThte mire ghar kī taraf

aur ab ke rāsta badlā huā merā bhī hai

panw us ke bhi nahin uThte mere ghar ki taraf

aur ab ke rasta badla hua mera bhi hai

ab ye samjhe ki añdherā bhī zarūrī shai hai

bujh ga.iiñ āñkheñ ujāloñ kī farāvānī se

ab ye samjhe ki andhera bhi zaruri shai hai

bujh gain aankhen ujalon ki farawani se

guzarte jā rahe haiñ qāfile tū hī zarā ruk jā

ġhubār-e-rāh tere saath chalnā chāhtā huuñ maiñ

guzarte ja rahe hain qafile tu hi zara ruk ja

ghubar-e-rah tere sath chalna chahta hun main
