juda thi baam se diwar dar akela tha

main ki tanha etibar-e-zat khone se hua

nazzara ajab uske gareban ki taraf tha

daman-e-shab mein chand ka manzar bhi dekh le

meri kar-gahh-e-dil mein abhi kaam hai zyaada

khunTi par laTka hua badan

ek kaifiyat

nekiyon se Khaali shahr

hawa hamare kis kaam ki

meri hi koi baat

kis tarah be-mauj aur Khaali rawani se hua

kahin sada-e-jaras hai na gard-e-rah-e-safar

juda thi baam se diwar dar akela tha

KHud bana leta hun main apni udasi ka sabab

maza to jab hai udasi ki sham ho shahin
