is bhare shahr mein din raat Thaharte hi nahin

rawan thi koi talab si lahu ke dariya mein

jinko zamin dida-e-dil se aziz thi

ghar mein kya gham ke siwa tha jo baha le jata

hudud-e-shahr se bahar bhi bastiyan phailin

harf ko barg-e-nawa deta hun

ab ke safar mein dard ke pahlu ajib hain

bahut aziz the usko safar ke hangame

zara si Thes lagi thi ki chur chur hua

lauh-e-jahan pe is tarah likkha gaya hun mein

shab ki diwar giri to dekha

wo shahr chhoD ke muddat hui chala bhi gaya

dur tak ek syahi ka bhanwar aaega

parind unchi uDanon ki dhun mein rahta hai

wo log apne aap mein kitne azim the
