zat ke karb ko lafzon mein dabae rakkha

bhul jate hain taqaddus ke hasin pal kitne

badalti rut pe hawaon ke saKHt pahre the

KHud-farebi hai dagha-bazi hai ayyari hai

roz uThta hai dhuan koh-e-nida ke us par

ek ek kar ke sabhi log bichhaD jate hain

may ka aag lagata hua mahina tha

ghire hain chaaron taraf bekasi ke baadal phir

na-rasai ka chalo jashn manaen hum log

abr chhaya tha fazaon mein teri baaton ka
