ummid ka bab likh raha hun

dil ki dahliz pe jab sham ka saya utra

subh aankh khulti hai ek din nikalta hai

safar mein ek jag tamam ho gaya

hum tirgi mein shama jalae hue to hain

tishna-kaamon ko yahan kaun subu deta hai

shahr-e-na-pursan mein kuchh apna pata milta nahin

kaun dekhe meri shaKHon ke samar TuTe hue

pal rahe hain kitne andeshe dilon ke darmiyan
