Safar main yaad na aye koi thikana humain..

Safar main yaad na aye koi thikana humain,
Gham zamaaney ka mila aesa parra ghabrana humain,

Ameer-e-sheher ne kaghaz ki kashtiyan de ker,
Samandron ke safar per kiya rawaana humain,

Jahan se sath zamaney ko le ke chalna tha,
Waheen pe chorr gayi gardish-e-zamana humain,

Har aik simt kharri hain buland deewarain,
Tamaan sheher nazar aaye qaid’khaana humain,

Salook sab ka dekh ker yeh dheyaan aaya,
Ke kash phir miley dushman wohi purana humain,

Nigaah parrti hai phir kyun paraayi shamon par,
Agar aziz hai Mohsin chiraagh khana humain..
