Saamne manzil, awaaz unki, kidar jaata,
Rukta to safar jata, chalta to bicharr jata,
Manzil ki bhi hasrat thi aur us se mohabbat bhi,
Aye dil yeh bata mujhko, us waqt kidar jata,
Muddat ka saffar bhi tha aur barson ki
shanasaayi,
Rukta to bikhar jata, jeene se mukar jata,
Lagi pyas ghazab ki thi, paani mein bhi zeher tha,
Peeta to main mar jata, na peeta to bhi mar jata
