faza udas hai suraj bhi kuchh niDhaal sa hai

kitni hi barishen hon shikayat zara nahin

saDkon pe ghumne ko nikalte hain sham se

kah rahe the log sahra jal gaya

apne hi shab o rose mein aabaad raha kar

apni miTTi ko sar-afraaz nahin kar sakte

hath hamare sab se unche hathon hi se gila bhi hai

dhup mein hum hain kabhi hum chhanw mein

git ke baad bhi gae jaun

garm zamin par aa baiThe hain KHushk lab-e-mahrum liye

jangal se aage nikal gaya

hama-waqt jo mere sath hain ye ubharte Dubte sae se

kisi kisi ki taraf dekhta to main bhi hun

kitni hi barishen hon shikayat zara nahin

ye sard raat koi kis tarah guzarega
