Karavaan guzaraa kiyaa ham rahaguzar dekhaa kiye 
har qadam par naqsh-e-paa raahabar dekhaa kiye 

yaas jab chhaaii ummiide.n haath mal kar rah gaii.n 
dil kii nabazein chhut gayii.n aur chaaraagar dekhaa kiye 

rukh merii jaanib nigaah-e-lutf dushman kii taraf
yuun udhar dekhaa kiye goyaa idhar dekhaa kiye 

dard ma.ndaan-e-vafaa kii haaye re majabuuriyaan 
dard-e-dil dekhaa na jaataa thaa magar dekhaa kiye 

tuu kahaan thii ai ajal ai naamuraadon kii muraad 
maranevaale raah terii umar bhar dekha kiye.
