Safar mein guzri hai umar apni, ab ik thikhana chahiye

Safar mein guzri hai umar apni, ab ik thikhana chahiye
Ke zinda rehne ko koi tou bahana chahiye

Koi tou ho jo in rasmon se elaan-e-baghawat kare
Kahin tou andhere mein koi chirag jalana chahiye

Kab se veeran para hai yeh ayina – e – dil
Sochta hoon ab koi neya chehra sajana chahhiye

Bohat muddat se muntazir hai mere des ki matti
Shayed ke ab mujhe laut ke ghar jana chahiye

Mujhe fakat usi ke sath ki tamana thi waqas
Magar usey mere sath sath sara zamana chahiye
