na jaane kab wo palaT aaen dar khula rakhna

KHud ko hujum-e-dahr mein khona paDa mujhe

libas-e-KHak sahi par kahin zarur hun main

is qadar bhi to na jazbaat pe qabu rakkho

tera hai kaam kaman mein use lagane tak

wo mila mujhko na jaane KHol kaisa oDh kar

gire hain lafz waraq pe lahu lahu ho kar

apni majburi batata raha ro kar mujhko

hath hathon mein na de baat hi karta jae

hai justuju agar isko idhar bhi aaega

lagega ajnabi ab kyon na shahr bhar mujhko

mere nuqush tere zehn se miTa dega

abhi to dil mein hai jo kuchh bayan karna hai

apna sara bojh zamin par phenk diya

chand phir taron ki ujli rezgari de gaya
