koi kashti mein tanha ja raha hai

manzil-o-samt-e-safar se be-KHabar na-ashna

wo maut ka manzar jo tha din raat wahi hai

is taraf se us taraf tak KHushk o tar pani mein hai

umid koi nahin aasra bhi koi nahin

ye suKHan jo meri zaban pe hai ye suKHan hai us ka kaha hua

bagh sara to bayaban na hua tha so hua

diwar ab kahin na koi dar dikhai de

ye hain jo aastin mein KHanjar kahan se aae

jaana hai usi samt ki chaara nahin koi

ek aas to hai koi sahaara nahin to kya

kya dekhte ho rah mein ruk kar yahan wahan

Thahre hue na bahte hue paniyon mein hun

ye jaur ahl-e-aza par mazid karte rahe

koi be-wajh kyun KHafa hoga
