jalti hawaen kah gain azm-e-sabaat chhoD de
dhimi barish ki lai mein ahwal sunate rahna
to yun kaho na dilon ka shikar karna hai
bhaTki hai ujalon mein nazar sham se pahle
ek dard sab ke dard ka mazhar laga mujhe
hawa mein kuchh to ghula tha ki honT nile hue
lafz ka kitna taqaddus hai ye kab jaante hain
bante rahe hain dil mein ajab gard-baad se
ek hawa uTThegi sare baal-o-par le jaegi
udhDe hue malbus ka parcham sa gaya hai
