ye garm ret ye sahra nibha ke chalna hai
wo ab tijarati pahlu nikal leta hai
ye lag raha hai rag-e-jaan pe la ke chhoDi hai
is andhe qaid-KHane mein kahin rauzan nahin hota
tujhse bichhDun to teri zat ka hissa ho jaun
tanhai se bachaw ki surat nahin karun
tamam bhiD se aage nikal ke dekhte hain
zara zara si kai kashtiyan bana lena
itna mohtat ki jumbish nahin karne dega
amal bar-waqt hona chahiye tha
raushni sans hi le le to Thahar jata hun
sar-ba-zanun koi fankar alag baiTha hai
aaKHiri marka ab shahr-e-dhuan-dhaar mein hai
tum pe suraj ki kiran aae to shak karta hun
phul par os ka qatra bhi ghalat lagta hai
