badan hai sabz aur shadab lekin ruh pyasi hai

qusur-war jo tum ho KHata hamari bhi hai

na shahr mein na kisi dasht-e-hu mein KHak hue

ye junun ke marke itne nahin aasan bhi

dhuan uDate hue din ko raat karte hue

miTate jate hain jo bhi nishan banate hain

lagta hai pech-o-tab ke aage kuchh aur hai

zard patton ka ghubar uDta hua

rawan hai nur ka ek sail har-bun-e-mu se

tamasha rahguzar-dar-rahguzar afsos ka hai

kahan kisi ka banaya hua banate hain

bala se koi kahe din ko raat chup rahna

jis ko dekho wahi paikar mein uljha hua hai

palaT ke jaanib-e-ahl-o-ayal dekhta hun

hawa to hai hi muKhaalif mujhe Daraata hai kya
