kahin to aa ke ruke bhi musafiri meri

kahīñ to aa ke ruke bhī musāfirī merī

ki mujh ko DhūñDhtī rahtī hai be-gharī merī

maiñ jis ke vāste ḳhud ko bhulā.e baiThā huuñ

usī ko bhuul na jaa.e ye sādgī merī

kabhī bhī khul ke kisī se kalām kar na sakā

tamām umr fazā hī thī ajnabī merī

hai raushnī kā havāla parāyā des magar

taras rahī hai ujāloñ ko zindagī merī

bas ik tamannā sī rahtī hai jo satātī hai

yahī ki tujh ko pasand aa.e shā.irī merī

vafā kī raah ko is taur se kiyā raushan

ki yaad aa.egī duniyā ko āshiqī merī

kahin to aa ke ruke bhi musafiri meri

ki mujh ko DhunDhti rahti hai be-ghari meri

main jis ke waste KHud ko bhulae baiTha hun

usi ko bhul na jae ye sadgi meri

kabhi bhi khul ke kisi se kalam kar na saka

tamam umr faza hi thi ajnabi meri

hai raushni ka hawala paraya des magar

taras rahi hai ujalon ko zindagi meri

bas ek tamanna si rahti hai jo satati hai

yahi ki tujh ko pasand aae shairi meri

wafa ki rah ko is taur se kiya raushan

ki yaad aaegi duniya ko aashiqi meri
