tirā ġham ashk ban kar aa gayā hai
ki phir aage samundar aa gayā hai
ba-zāhir ḳhushk-sālī hai gharoñ par
magar sailāb andar aa gayā hai
nayā paiġhām shīshe par likhūñgā
ki mere haath patthar aa gayā hai
sahārā kyā diyā girte makāñ ko
ki malba mere uupar aa gayā hai
yahāñ par bhī vahī sahrā hai 'rāhat'
maiñ samjhā thā mirā ghar aa gayā hai
