isi umid pe jalti hain dasht dasht aanhken

faisla the waqt ka phir be-asar kaise hue

na TuT kar itna hum ko chaho ki ro paDen hum

na socho tark-e-talluq ke moD par ruk kar

saf-e-munafiqan mein phir wo ja mila to kya ajab

hisar-e-gosh-e-samaat ki dastaras mein kahan

wo sardiyon ki dhup ki tarah ghurub ho gaya

main sang-e-rah hun to Thokar ki zad pe aaunga

guzarte patton ki chap hogi tumhaare sehan-e-ana ke andar

hamare bich mein ek aur shaKHs hona tha

KHatm hone de mere sath hi apna bhi wajud

jo KHas-e-badan tha jala bahut kai nikhaton ki talash mein

aankhen yun barsin pairahan bhig gaya

kisi ko qissa-e-paki-e-chashm yaad nahin

kanar-e-ab hawa jab bhi sansanati hai
