Ye Safar

Har safar mein humsafar ho,
Ye zaroori to nahi;
Kuch raaste akele hi chalo,
Manzilein door hi sahi. 


Raah mein takra jayega koi na koi;
Muskurayega shayad,
Ya phir dekhega bhi nahi.


Tum nirash na hona,
Har dil reham-o-karam nahi.
Tumhare dil mein pyar beshumar ho,
Baatne waala bereham hi sahi.


Haan ye sach hai ki is baat mein koi chingari nahi;
Par wo dil-e-jazbaat hi kya,
Jo bhadke dum bhar,
Par taa-umra roshan nahi.


Dil ke har khayal ko yun na jhuthlana,
Unmein pyar chupa hai kahin na kahin.
Unke saaye mein jannat-e-sukoonat hai;
Phir mera arz jhootha hi sahi.
