is shahr-e-tilismat ka dastur ajab hai
kitne tafakkuraat se aazad ho gaya
ye kaisi hijraten hain mausamon mein
sahilon se dur jis din kashtiyan rah jaengi
yun agar ghaTte rahe insan to Khaalid dekhna
ek aur khet pakki saDak ne nigal liya
bahut tanha hai wo unchi haweli
be-kar hai be-mani hai aKHbar ki surKHi
jo aankh ki putli mein raha nur ki surat
