nae charagh ki lau panw se lipaTti hai

tabah KHud ko use la-zawal karte hain

jaane kis ummid pe chhoD aae the ghar-bar log

din-ba-din ghaTti hui umr pe nazil ho jae

ek aayat paDh ke apne-ap par dam kar diya

aasmanon se zamin ki taraf aate hue hum

wo apne shahr-e-faraghat se kam nikalta hai

barson purane zaKHm ko be-kar kar diya

bhare hue hain abhi raushni ki daulat se

sadiyon sikhega abhi jaan luTana meri jaan

insaniyat ke zoam ne barbaad kar diya

dasht mein raat banate hue Darta hun main

qaede bazar ke is bar ulTe ho gae

KHuda muaf kare zindagi banate hain

sitara-saz ye hum par karam farmate rahte hain
