dauDta rahta hun na-malum samton ki taraf
jo meri aah se nikla dhuan hai meri miTTi ka
ghubar kis ka hai istiara ye gard kis waste uDi hai
badan pe KHarqa-e-tahzib phaTne wala hai
tanhai mili mujhko zarurat se ziyaada
maine apni maut pe ek nauha likkha hai
har lamha dil-doz KHamoshi chiKH rahi hai
har nafas ek nai zanjir mujhe milti hai
jaane kaise log the yaad aae kam jaane ke baad
jab kabhi shor-e-jahan hota hai
patthar se mukalima hai jari
main apni bebasi mahsus kar ke ro raha hunga
pahle ki ba-nisbat hai mujhe kaam ziyaada
gurez-pa hai naya rasta kidhar jaen
qarib aate hue aur dur jate hue
