shāhrāheñ nahīñ Dagar to hai
manzileñ nā sahī safar to hai
duur sahrā meñ ek chhoTā sā
be-samar hī sahī shajar to hai
muḳhtasar go hai dāstān mirī
us ke anjām meñ asar to hai
zulmat-e-shab girāñ hai ye maanā
raat ke ba.ad phir sahar to hai
haiñ darīche udaas dar vīrāñ
kuchh nahīñ phir bhī apnā ghar to hai
mere alfāz meñ kashish na sahī
merī āvāz meñ asar to hai
shahrahen nahin Dagar to hai
manzilen na sahi safar to hai
dur sahra mein ek chhoTa sa
be-samar hi sahi shajar to hai
muKHtasar go hai dastan meri
us ke anjam mein asar to hai
zulmat-e-shab giran hai ye mana
raat ke baad phir sahar to hai
hain dariche udas dar viran
kuchh nahin phir bhi apna ghar to hai
mere alfaz mein kashish na sahi
meri aawaz mein asar to hai
Pachas Sala Intekhab"
