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