chhupe hue the jo dil mein wo Dar purane the

hum bhi zinda hain ajab kawish-e-izhaar ke sath

zalzalon ne kiya yun shahr ko mismar ki bas

aql kahti hai koi DhunD mafar ki surat

thirakti lau ki bas ek aaKHiri dua sunta

sarishk-e-KHun sar-e-mizhgan kabhi piroe na the

shahr ka shahr luTera hai nazar mein rakhiye

khuli aankhon se sapna dekhne mein

rakh kuchh dil mein ziyaada hai sharara kam hai

ek talatum sa hai har samt tamannaon ka

mere wajud ke dozaKH ko sard kar dega

safar mein yaad na aae koi Thikana hamein

nigar-e-fan pe harifan-e-sher ki yalghaar

main ek umr ke baad aaj KHud ko samjha hun

dastaken sunte hain sab dar kholta koi nahin
