yaaden chaliin khayaal chalaa ashk-e-tar chale
lekar payaam-e-shauq kaii naamabar chale

dil ko sanbhaalte rahe har haadse pe ham
ab kyaa karen ki khud tere gesuu bikhar chale

har gaam pe shikast ne yuun hauslaa diyaa
jis tarah saath saath koii hamsafar chale

shauq-e-talab na ho koii baang-e-jaras to ho
aakhir koii chale to kis ummiid par chale

ab kyaa karoge
sair-e-chamanzaar-e-aarzoo
rut jaa chukii chadhe hue dariyaa utar chale

raahon mein 'Iqbal' sang baraste hain har taraf
lekar ye kaarvaan-e-tamannaa kidhar chale
