[waheed ahmed]

mujhe dostouN kii kamii nahiiN, mera mashghala imtihaaN se he
merii ahl-e-wasl se jami nahiiN, mera firaq dushman-e-jaaN se he

maiN talash-e-iztirab-e-arjumand houN, meri arzoo safr se he
maiN bhatak rahaa houN khushi se ab, mera silsila karwaaN se he


maiN teri talash ke daayreh se nikal chuka, maiN azad houN
maiN tawaf-e-do jahaaN maiN houN, meri intiha aasmaaN se he

tujhe ab tak huwi nahi khabar maiN kon houN mere hamsafr
meri intihaa maqam-e-hasher he meri ibtida na jaane kahaaN se he

maiN ishq houN ya charagar maiN faraib houN yaa raahbar
ay ajnabi tujhe kia khabar mera mamala apni amaaaN se he
