zard phulon mein basa KHwab mein rahne wala

charagh banTne walon pa hairaten na karo

hijab aa gaya tha mujhko dil ke iztirab par

sard raaton ki hawa mein uDte patton ke masil

ghubar-e-shahr mein use na DhunD jo KHizan ki shab

itna aasan nahin pani se shabihen dhona

kisi ka saya rah gaya gali ke ain moD par

dhup phaili to kaha diwar ne jhuk kar mujhe

faKHtaen bolti hain bajron ke des mein

bastiyon wale to KHud oDh ke patte, soe

aadhe peD pe sabz parinde aadha peD aasebi hai

aasman ke rauzanon se lauT aata tha kabhi

muKHtasar baat thi, phaili kyun saba ki manind

koi na rasta nap saka hai, ret pe chalne walon ka

wo shaKHs amar hai, jo piwega do chandon ke nur
