chehron pe zar-posh andhere phaile hain

ek sannaTa bichha hai is jahan mein har taraf

bahar sare maidan jit chuka tha wo

ye sach hai rang badalta tha wo har ek lamha

aam ke peDon ke sare phal sunahre ho gae

mera karb meri tanhai ki zinat

jaane kya soch ke phir inko rihai de di

usne har zarre ko tilism-abaad kiya

har ek nadi se kaDi pyas le ke wo guzra

soup ke dane kabutar chug raha tha aur wo

ek sahir kabhi guzra tha idhar se ambar

gae the hum bhi bahr ki tahon mein jhumte hue

hum pi bhi gae aur salamat bhi hain amabar

har phul pe us shaKHs ko patthar the chalane

ek shaffaf tabiat wala sahrai
