ab teri zarurat bhi bahut kam hai meri jaan

shahr viran udas hain galiyan

baTe rahoge to apna yunhi bahega lahu

kuchh log KHayalon se chale jaen to soen

bhula bhi de use jo baat ho gai pyare

aur sab bhul gae harf-e-sadaqat likhna

us raunat se wo jite hain ki marna hi nahin

sher hota hai ab mahinon mein

dushmanon ne jo dushmani ki hai

sher se shairi se Darte hain

dil-e-pur-shauq ko pahlu mein dabae rakkha

wahi haalat hain faqiron ke

usne jab hans ke namaskar kiya

kam purana bahut naya tha firaq

tum se pahle wo jo ek shaKHs yahan taKHt-nashin tha
