chaDha hua tha wo dariya agar hamare liye

ye kaisa KHun hai ki bah raha hai na jam raha hai

hum ko aawargi kis dasht mein lai hai ki ab

tariki ke raat azab hi kya kam the

gum-shuda main hun to har samt bhi gum hai mujh mein

meri ibtida meri intiha kahin aur hai

zaKHmon ko ashk-e-KHun se sairab kar raha hun

kahan kisi ko thi fursat fuzul baaton ki

use bhulaya to apna KHayal bhi na raha

ye shughl-e-zabani bhi be-sarfa nahin aaKHir

kisi se kya kahen sunen agar ghubar ho gae

ye jo dhuan dhuan sa hai dasht-e-guman ke aas-pas

us se milna aur bichhaDna der tak phir sochna

suna hai shahr ka naqsha badal gaya mahfuz

ab is makan mein naya koi dar nahin karna
