safar malaal ka hai aur chal rahi hooN maiN

safar malaal ka hai aur chal rahi hooN maiN
ghubaar-e-shab ki udaasi meiN Dhal rahi hooN maiN

ajeeb barf ki baarish badan pe utri hai
k jis ki aag meiN chup chaap jal rahi hooN maiN

phir ik charaagh jala shaam ki haveli meiN
phir eik dard se aakhir saNbhal rahi hooN maiN

yeh rakh rakhaao usay jaan'ne naheeN de ga!
k apne aap meiN kese pighal rahi hooN maiN

yeh ishq sach se juda kaise ho gaya jaanaaN?
ab is savaal se baahir nikal rahi hooN maiN

bas eik ishq meri zaat par saheefa ho
mere khuda! yeh aqeeda badal rahi hooN meiN
