Harf lafzon ki taraf lafz ma’aani ki taraf
Laut aaye sabhi kirdaar kahaani ki taraf
Hosh kho baitha tha main zardi e jaan se aur phir
Ik hawaa aayi uraa le gayi paani ki taraf
Pahle misre mein tujhe soch liya ho jisne
Jana partaa hai use misra e saani ki taraf
Dil mein ik shakhs ki ummid ka marna tha ki bas
DhaRkanein khinchne lagin marsiya-khaani ki taraf
Chashm e veeraan ko baharhaal khushi hai iski
Khaab raaghib to hue naql e makaani ki taraf
Jab fizaa uske badan-rang ki ho jaayegi
Ghaur se dekhenge ham apni jawaani ki taraf
Ham to ik umr hui apni taraf aa bhi chuke
Aur dil hai ki usi dushman e jaani ki taraf
Us se kahnaa ki dhuaan dekhne laayaq hogaa
Aag pahne hue jaaoonga main paani ki taraf
Dil wo dariya hai mire seena e khaali mein k ab
Dhyaan jata hi nahin jiski rawaani ki taraf
Uthne lagti hai mire jism se ik boo e firaaq
Raat dekhoon jo kabhi raat ki raani ki taraf
