aasman par kale baadal chha gae

qadmon se itna dur kinara kabhi na tha

zaruraton ki hamahami mein jo rah chalte bhi Tokti hai wo shairi hai

chup the jo but sawal ba-lab bolne lage

kahin subh-o-sham ke darmiyan kahin mah-o-sal ke darmiyan

gaurayyon ne jashn manaya mere aangan barish ka

damak uThi hai faza mahtab-e-KHwab ke sath

gum hue jate hain dhaDkan ke nishan ham-nafaso

nishan-e-zaKHm pe nishtar-zani jo hone lagi
