khun ki har bund patthar ho chuki
zindagi khatre se bahar ho chuki

aandhiyon ki zad pe ai reg-e-rawan
be-ghari tera muqaddar ho chuki

main nikal aaya hisar-e-jism se
sard jab shoalon ki chadar ho chuki

ehtiyaton se bhi kuchh hasil nahin
ab to ye mitti bhi banjar ho chuki

saya-e-aks-e-nawa bhi mit gaya
dhup bhi mutthi barabar ho chuki
