sach bolna chahen bhi to bola nahin jata

main mahal ret ke sahra mein banane baiTha

hamare chehre pe ranj-o-malal aisa tha

dariche so gae shab jagti hai

ji raha hun main udasi bhari taswir ke sath

isko koi gham nahin hai jis ka ghar patthar ka hai

hare daraKHt ka shaKHon se rishta TuT gaya

huruf Khaali sadaf aur nisab zaKHmon ke

hairan hun ki aaj ye kya hadisa hua

har ek rah mein imkan-e-hadisa hai abhi

main apne shahr mein apna hi chehra kho baiTha

meri duniya akeli ho rahi hai
