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
tanhai mili mujhko zarurat se ziyaada
badan pe KHarqa-e-tahzib phaTne wala hai
maine apni maut pe ek nauha likkha hai
har lamha dil-doz KHamoshi chiKH rahi hai
jaane kaise log the yaad aae kam jaane ke baad
har nafas ek nai zanjir mujhe milti hai
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
