Na arsh ke paar hi koi makaan apna hai
Na zamin apni hai, na asmaan apna hai

Kahkashaan wa qausqazah kho gayin zamin taley
Asmaan bhi toot gaya, ab sirf tu hi meharbaan apna hai

Waqt ke chehrey pe zakham hain jaane kitne
Ainaa bhi dhundhlaa hai, milta nahin koi nishaan apna hai

Jo aayee fasal-e-gul is baar to hursoo thi teri hi khushboo
Ghunchey terey, baharein teri, tera hi gulistaan apna hai

Hazaron dastaanein likhee gayin jis key seeney pe
Aaj us bekas zamin ka na koi qadardaan apna hai

Jo karo is syaah raat mein koi mashaal roshan
To shararey apney hain, aatishfishaan apna hai

Jo mod do rukh tez aandhiyon ka
To Safar apna hai, caravan apna hai
