matami kapDe pahan liye the meri zamin ne

kisi KHayal kisi KHwab ke liye KHurshid

main hun ek paikar-e-KHayal-o-KHwab

KHwabon ki maine ek imarat banai aur

ye kaun aag lagane pe hai yahan mamur

koi nahin jo miTae meri siyah-baKHti

tera baKHsha hua ek zaKHm pyare

wo taghaful-shiar kya jaane

utar ke shaKH se ek ek zard patte ne

ye dil ki zard paDa tha kai zamanon se

ye kar-e-mohabbat bhi kya kar-e-mohabbat hai

kis ki KHatir ujaD raste par

wahshaten ishq aur majburi

dekh kar bhi na dekhna us ka

zara si der ko usne palaT ke dekha tha
