Safar ki khwaish kissay nahin hai

Safar ki khwaish kissay nahin hai

Safar ki khwaish kissay nahin hai 

Koi parindon ki tarah urnay ka arzoo mand hai 

Koi daak kay lifafay ki tarah mohtaat, pa-ba-manzil 

Kisi ki parwaaz ta'ufaq

Aur kisi ki maktoon alye tak hai 

Yeh apnay apnay iraday aur tosha-e-safar par bhi munhasir hai 

Parindon aur jugnoo kay air titliyon kay hamraah 

Bhaagna 

Bhaagtay hi rehna 

Ajeeb romaan to hai lakin 

Safar ki lazat ko apni poron main 

Shahed ban kar utartay tab dekh payein gay hum 

Keh jab kahin par qayam bhi ho 

Aur is khabaer kay liye 

Hawa ki muzahamat ka 

Badan ko mamnoon hona ho ga
