dhuan shorish rawani be-yaqini

saba ki KHak-nawardi subu ki virani

bala ki pyas thi hadd-e-nazar mein pani tha

safar rasta saubat KHwab sahra

rawan hai mauj-e-fana jism o jaan utar mujhe

asal mein ye dasht tha

bila unwan

rawan zindabaad

no mans land

uljhan

kalisa maulwi rahib pujari

phir is ke baad meri raat be-misal hui

sach to ye hai ki mere pas hi dirham kam hain

baat ye hai ki sabhi bhai mere dushman hain

koi to aae sunae nawed-e-taza mujhe
