har nafas minnat-kash-e-alam hai

ye sitam ek KHwahish-e-mauhum par

ek jal-thal thi kal tak ye zamin ye dasht bhi kal tak dariya the

kya kahun jazbaat ka tufan kitna tez hai

badan ki aanch se chehra nikhar gaya kaisa

maut us bekas ki ghayat hi sahi

aah ai sauda-e-KHam-e-arzu

kis chaman ki KHak mein phulon ka mustaqbil nahin

yun sang-dil hayat se ahd-o-wafa kiya

paiham ek iztirab ajab KHushk-o-tar mein tha

sar Takraen jis se wo diwar kahan

hum jahan rahte hain KHwabon ka nagar hai koi

juzw-o-kul ka hum is andaz se rishta samjhe

akeli ruh akela mera badan bhi hai
