dil ka ye dasht arsa-e-mahshar laga mujhe

ruKH-e-zeba idhar nahin karta

yaksu bhi lag raha hun bikharne ke bawajud

khinch lai hai yahan lazzat-e-azar mujhe

simaTne ki hawas kya thi bikharna kis liye hai

yun to kis chiz ki kami hai

itna Thahra hua mahaul badalna paD jae

ye zamin aasman ka mumkin

jis ne nafrat hi mujhe di na zafar pyar diya

aisi koi darpesh hawa aai hamare

hazar bandish-e-auqat se nikalta hai

safar kaThin hi sahi jaan se guzarna kya

phir koi shakl nazar aane lagi pani par

tere aasman ki zamin ho gaya hun

viran thi raat chand ka patthar siyah tha
