Jism tarhpa hay khaak per tanha,

Rooh kerti rahi safer tanha.

Neend walo ko kia khabar is ki,

Kon jaga hai raat bhar tanha.

Log soay thay band kamro mein,

Chand bhatka hai dar’badar tanha.

Sath deta hai kon manzil tk,

Sath chalty hain rahguzer tanha.

Shaher ka shaher bhujta jata tha,

Ja raha tha wo apny ghar tanha.

Ay gham-e-zindgi k chand,

Dhund mujhko nager nager tanha.

Wo jo hasta tha Ehl-e-Dil pe kabhi,

Ro para khud ko dekh kr tanha.!
