is sarae mein musaafir ka qayaam
ek lamha be-yaqeenee ka
jis ko jannat ya jahannam jo bhee kah lo
kya kisee pe inhisaar
har koee apane amal ka zimmedaar
bhool kar bhee ye na socho
ki muqaddar bhee banaata hai koee
varna jo hai saamane chup-chaap dekho
kya bhala hai kya bura
jab talak sahane kee taaqat hai saho
haal-e-dil apana kisee se mat kaho
ab to rasman hee zabaan par pursish-e-ahavaal hai
dam dilaasa pyaar hamadardee khuloos
aise sab alfaaz seene kee lugat se ud chuke hain
is sarae mein musaafir ka qayaam
maut ke khatake se mar jaane ka naam!
