KHud main zindan mein hun tirgi ke

shahr mein ek ajab KHak-ba-sar aaya hai

miTTi ki imarat saya de kar miTTi mein hamwar hui

na sahn-o-baam na diwar-o-dar purane hain

aise ghurbat mein baiTha hun jaise baDa bar-e-sar rakh diya

shabnam ne kab is baat se inkar kiya hai

kam ulajhti hai charaghon se hawa mere baad

dukh sine mein kis taqat-e-iza ne bhare hain

jaise hum aate hain KHidmat mein sabhi aaya karen

na Khaali zehn yun duniya ka rah jae

marhale saKHt imtihan ke hain

ek be-nam si diwar hai bahar mere

ab jald ye be-abi-e-mausam ki bala jae

rahen to bahut thin zindagi mein

kitne din habs-e-musalsal mein basar hote hain
