tapish se bhaag kar pyāsā gayā hai
samundar kī taraf sahrā gayā hai

kuaañ maujūd hai jal bhī mayassar
vo mere ghar se kyuuñ tishna gayā hai

dobāra ruuh us meñ phūñk do tum
badan jo phir akelā aa gayā hai

zamāñ apnī ravish par to hai qaa.em
magar lamhāt meñ farq aa gayā hai

safar meñ tāza-dam hogā vo kaise
jo ghar hī se thakā-māñda gayā hai

banā hogā ḳhas-o-ḳhāshāk se vo
jo nabh jaltā huā dekhā gayā hai

mujhe lahroñ kī kashtī par biThā kar
bhañvar kī khoj meñ dariyā gayā hai

zamīñ se bhī tavaqqo kuchh hai aisī
dimāġh-e-charḳh jab chakrā gayā hai

jo utrā arsh kā ik ek tabqa
zamīñ par dā.era bantā gayā hai

na fikr-e-varta thī us ko zarā bhī
vo kashtī ziist kī khetā gayā hai

'figār' us meñ vajūd us kā milegā
jo jūyāñ bahr kā qatra gayā hai

tapish se bhag kar pyasa gaya hai
samundar ki taraf sahra gaya hai

kuan maujud hai jal bhi mayassar
wo mere ghar se kyun tishna gaya hai

dobara ruh us mein phunk do tum
badan jo phir akela aa gaya hai

zaman apni rawish par to hai qaem
magar lamhat mein farq aa gaya hai

safar mein taza-dam hoga wo kaise
jo ghar hi se thaka-manda gaya hai

bana hoga KHas-o-KHashak se wo
jo nabh jalta hua dekha gaya hai

mujhe lahron ki kashti par biTha kar
bhanwar ki khoj mein dariya gaya hai

zamin se bhi tawaqqo kuchh hai aisi
dimagh-e-charKH jab chakra gaya hai

jo utra arsh ka ek ek tabqa
zamin par daera banta gaya hai

na fikr-e-warta thi us ko zara bhi
wo kashti zist ki kheta gaya hai

'figar' us mein wajud us ka milega
jo juyan bahr ka qatra gaya hai
