Bastiyan LuTti Hain KHwabon Ke Nagar Jalte Hain

bastiyan luTti hain KHwabon ke nagar jalte hain

hum wahan hain ki jahan sham-o-sahar jalte hain

dil ke aiwan mein afsurda charaghon ka dhuan

dur kuchh dur wo yaadon ke khanDar jalte hain

phir kisi manzil-e-jaan-soz ki jaanib hain rawan

chob-e-sahra ki tarah ahl-e-safar jalte hain

yun to pur-amn hai ab shahr-e-sitamgar lekin

kuchh makan KHud hi sar-e-rahguzar jalte hain

hai ba-zahir koi shoala na chamak aur sharar

hum kisi gham mein ba-andaz-e-digar jalte hain

aatish-e-talKHi-e-haalat mein kya kuchh na jala

ab gila kya hai jo ehsas ke par jalte hain

go ho barfab bhi taskin hai dushwar 'sahar'

apni hi aag mein arbab-e-hunar jalte hain
