qātil huā ḳhamosh to talvār bol uThī
maqtal meñ ḳhūn-e-garm kī har dhaar bol uThī
pūchhā subuk saroñ kā numā.inda kaun hai
sun kar faqīh-e-shahr kī dastār bol uThī
ahl-e-sitam ke ḳhauf se jo chup thī vo zabāñ
jab bolne pe aa.ī sar-e-dār bol uThī
merī tabāhiyoñ kī hai is meñ ḳhabar zarūr
az ḳhud har ek surḳhi-e-aḳhbār bol uThī
chehra thā zaḳhm zaḳhm koī pūchhtā na thā
yūsuf bane to garmī-e-bāzār bol uThī
ik nāḳhudā hī yūrish-e-tūfāñ pe chup rahā
chappū kabhī to aur kabhī patvār bol uThī
kuchh is tarah se naqsh the īñToñ pe sāñche ke
zindāñ meñ mujh ko dekh ke dīvār bol uThī
