dosh-e-hawa pe tinkon ka ye aashiyana kya

hamein to KHair koi dusra achchha nahin lagta

ye hain jo aastin mein KHanjar kahan se aae

main ek harf maani ka ek daftar wo

jitna tahzib-e-badan se main sanwarta jaun

diwar ab kahin na koi dar dikhai de

yun samajh lo ki ba-juz nam-e-KHuda kuchh na raha

Thahre hue na bahte hue paniyon mein hun

bagh sara to bayaban na hua tha so hua

dur tak sabza kahin hai aur na koi saeban

koi be-wajh kyun KHafa hoga

zamane bhar ki zillat samne thi

bas-ki dushwar hai us shaKHs ka chehra likhna

chand lamhon ke liye anjuman-arai thi

umid koi nahin aasra bhi koi nahin
