zamana lakh sitaron ko chhu ke aa jae

jo zaKHm deta hai to be-asar hi deta hai

wo shahr chhoD ke muddat hui chala bhi gaya

wo log apne aap mein kitne azim the

dur tak ek syahi ka bhanwar aaega

apna lahu yatim tha koi na rang la saka

teri aamad ki muntazir aankhen

teri nigah to KHush-manzari pe rahti hai

ab ke safar mein dard ke pahlu ajib hain

wo log jin ki zamana hansi uData hai

bahut aziz the usko safar ke hangame

ghar mein kya gham ke siwa tha jo baha le jata

shab ki diwar giri to dekha

jinko zamin dida-e-dil se aziz thi

is bhare shahr mein din raat Thaharte hi nahin
