Logon Ke Dard Apni Pashemaniyan Mili'n

Logon ke dard apni pashemaniyan mili'n,
Hum shaah-e-ghum the hum ko yahi raaniyan mili'n...

Sahrao'n mein bhi ja ke nazar aaye sail-e-aab,
Dariya se door bhi humein tughyaniyan mili'n...

Aaya na phir wo daur ke ji bhar ke kheliye,
Bachpan ke baad phir na wo nadaniyan mili'n...

Rah kar alag bhi saath raha hai koi khyaal,
Tanhaai mein bhi khud pe nigahbaniyan mili'n...

Paani ke saath aks bhi bah kar chale gaye,
Sookhi nadi to phir wahi viraaniyan mili'n...

Apni hi aankh par gaye lamho'n ka bojh tha,
Us ki nazar mein to wahi jaulaniyan mili'n...

Baitha raha huma-e-sitam sar pe hi 'Adeem',
Har dasht-e-karb ki humein sultaaniyan mili'n.!!
