subut-e-jurm na milne ka phir bahana kiya

main uski aankh mein wo mere dil ki sair mein tha

uljhanen itni thin manzar aur pas-manzar ke bich

hai mere gird yaqinan kahin hisar sa kuchh

is haal mein jite ho to mar kyun nahin jate

Dhali jo sham nazar se utar gaya suraj

phir tera shahr teri rahguzar ho ki na ho

mahaul se jaise ki ghuTan hone lagi hai

sab mutmain the subh ka aKHbar dekh kar

jab jhuT rawiyon ke qalam bolne lage
