ye jo tartib se bana hua main

sirf aazar uThane se kahan banta hai

TuTi mez aur jali kitaben rah jaengi

raKHt-e-gurez gam se aage ki baat hai

mera aur phulon ka rishta TuT gaya

thoDi chandi thoDa gara lagta hai

ghamon ki bhiD mein rasta bana ke chalta hun

chehre par KHush-haali le kar aata hun

do umron ki rui dhun kar aaya hun

phul kitaben le ja tanha rahne de

na-jaane kaun tere kaKH-o-ku mein aaega

apna apna dukh batlana hota hai

bagh ek din ka hai so raat nahin aane ki

hamara aaina be-kar ho gaya to phir!

kafil-e-saat-e-sayyar rakkha hota hai
