soch ke be-samt darwazon pe jab patthar laga
sapne ki wadi ko taj kar rup-nagar mein aaya kar
wo zard chehra moattar nigah jaisa tha
mujhi se puchh raha tha mera pata koi
qaid-e-tanhai se qaid-e-umr mein aa jaunga
jab juda peDon se kaT kar Dali Dali ho gai
jab palak jhapke to manzar ka waraq ban jae hai
ye zor-o-shor sar-e-abshaar kaisa hai
baat karna hai karo samne itrao nahin
aankhon ka qusur kuchh nahin hai
aansuon ki ek chadar tan gai hai
chand ki kirnon ki chadar ne sab ke rup chhupae hain
aandhe moD ko jo bhi kaTe aahista guzre
