ਉਕਤਾਮੋਏ ਖਲਦੋਰੋਵਾ

safar kā shauq na manzil kī justujū baaqī

musāfiroñ ke badan meñ nahīñ lahū baaqī

tamām raat havāoñ kā gasht jaarī thā

savere tak na rahā koī hū-ba-hū baaqī

sabhī tarah se ta.āruf to ho gayā un kā

rahī hai ab to mulāqāt rū-ba-rū baaqī

jo bhiiḌ bikhre to dekhūñ talab ye kaisī hai

dayār-e-ġhair meñ hai kis kī justujū baaqī

vahī nazāre vahī garmī-e-suḳhan hai magar

na hī vo baat na vo tarz-e-guftugū baaqī

zamāna mujh se judā ho gayā zamāna huā

rahā hai ab to bichhaḌne ko mujh se tū baaqī

usī lihāz kā 'ābid' malāl hai ham ko

rahā na aaj jo daurān-e-guftugū baaqī
