patthar tamam shahr sitamgar ke ho gae

jab amn ke aasar dekhte hain

safar mein tira-shabi ke azab itne hain

wo ba-rang-e-etibar aankhon mein hai

na dushmanon se watan mein raha kabhi mahfuz

wo pahle fikr ko harf-e-kamal deta hai

nai ghazal ka nai fikr-o-agagi ka waraq

ye saneha bhi ajab ho gaya hai raste mein

azmat-e-shahar-e-ana shan-e-bashar ki surat

us ka lahja karaKHt hota gaya

mahak raha hai tasawwur mein KHwab ki surat
