yam-ba-yam phaila hua hai pyas ka sahra yahan
jo kuchh bhi guzarta hai mere dil pe guzar jae
aankh ki qismat hai ab bahta samundar dekhna
ye baat to nahin hai ki main kam swad tha
ye shahr-e-rafiqan hai dil-e-zar sambhal ke
dastak hawa ne di hai zara ghaur se suno
uske gham ko gham-e-hasti tu mere dil na bana
is dasht-e-suKHan mein koi kya phul khilae
main jo kuchh sochta hun ab tumhein bhi sochna hoga
is dasht pe ehsan na kar ai abr-e-rawan aur
pindar-e-zohd ho ki ghurur-e-barhamani
manzil ke KHwab dekhte hain panw kaT ke
kab tak rahun main KHauf-zada apne aap se
aaj ki shab jaise bhi ho mumkin jagte rahna
raat sunsan dasht o dar KHamosh
