Mere hamraah manzilen bhi ravaan hai
musaafir main huun yaa sara jahaan hai

haqeeqat tak rasaaii hi kahan hai
yaqeen jis ko samajhte ho, gumaan hai

vahanN pahunche jahan jaanaa nahin thaa
safar jitnaa kiya, raaigaan thaa

vahan main dhundtaa hoon jaavidaani
jahan har chiiz be-naam-o-nishaan hai

badaltaa hai din bhar meN vo kaii ruup
falaq shaayad chiraaghon kaa dhuaan hai

ajab aaseb hai ye Khaana-e-dil
makiiN hote hue Khaalii makaan hai

dahaktaa koylaa hai har harf-e-matlab
magar ye koylaa merii zubaan hai

mere dil mein chamakte hain sitaare
mere andar bhii shaayad aasmaan hai

pahunchnaa hai mujhe apne Khudaa tak
magar saarii Khudaaii darmiyaan hai

ye kis ko chhuu liyaa Shaan maine
sakat dil mein ab na haathon mein jaan ha
