shahr-e-sadmat se aage nahin jaane wala
koi an-dekhi faza taswir karna chahiye
fana ke dasht mein kab ka utar gaya tha main
junun ko raKHt kiya KHak ko libaada kiya
mere andar rawani KHatm hoti ja rahi hai
kal raat ek ajib paheli hui hawa
ye talluq teri pahchan bana sakta tha
har ek rang dhanak ki misal aisa tha
basti se chand roz kinara karunga main
sukut toDne ka ehtimam karna chahiye
ai tassub zada duniya tere kirdar pe KHak
jis samay tera asar tha mujh mein
koi hairat hai na is baat ka rona hai hamein
dasht mein wadi-e-shadab ko chhu kar aaya
jaisi honi ho wo raftar nahin bhi hoti
