zuhur-e-paikri sahra mein hai sirf ek nishan mera
ghubar-e-karwan hun dur nikla karwan mera

rasai marg-e-shauq-uftadgi nang-e-tan-asani
bala ki kashmakash hai aur ghubar-e-na-tawan mera

mujhe ghabra ke dosh-e-hasti-e-jawed par phenka
koi dam bhi na uttha maut se bar-e-giran mera

mere saz-e-nafas ki khamushi par ruh kahti hai
na aai mujh ko nind aur so gaya afsana-khwan mera

kharabi khanda-zan hai koshish-e-tamir par meri
qafas ko todta jata hai shauq-e-ashiyan mera
