chehron pe zar-posh andhere phaile hain

aam ke peDon ke sare phal sunahre ho gae

ek sannaTa bichha hai is jahan mein har taraf

ye sach hai rang badalta tha wo har ek lamha

har phul pe us shaKHs ko patthar the chalane

jaan dene ka hunar har shaKHs ko aata nahin

roz hum jalti hui ret pe chalte hi na the

jaane kya barsa tha raat charaghon se

ek shaffaf tabiat wala sahrai

bahar sare maidan jit chuka tha wo

mera karb meri tanhai ki zinat

hum pi bhi gae aur salamat bhi hain amabar

har ek nadi se kaDi pyas le ke wo guzra

usne har zarre ko tilism-abaad kiya

ek sahir kabhi guzra tha idhar se ambar
