makan mein qaid-e-sada ki dahshat

be-haqiqat duriyon ki dastan hoti gai

nam behad the magar un ka nishan koi na tha

bechain bahut phirna ghabrae hue rahna

meri sari zindagi ko be-samar usne kiya

sae ghaTte jate hain

ek tez tir tha ki laga aur nikal gaya

chaman main rang-e-bahaar utra to maine dekha

ghairon se mil ke hi sahi be-bak to hua

ek masafat panw shal karti hui si KHwab mein

is shahr ke yahin kahin hone ka rang hai

dil jal raha tha gham se magar naghma-gar raha

sham ke maskan mein viran mai-kade ka dar khula

be-KHayali mein yunhi bas ek irada kar liya

hai us gul-rang ka diwar hona
