hashiye par kuchh haqiqat kuchh fasana khwab ka
ek adhura sa hai khaka zindagi ke bab ka

rang sab dhundla gae hain sab lakiren mit gain
aks hai be-pairahan us paikar-e-nayab ka

zarra zarra dasht ka mange hai ab bhi khun-baha
munh chhupae ro raha hai qatra qatra aab ka

sanp ban kar das rahi hain sab tamannaen yahan
karwan aa kar kahan thahra dil-e-be-tab ka

koh-e-tanhai ka 'shahid' zarra zarra tutna
para para ho gaya hai ab jigar simab ka
