moajiza tha ajab
aahani chanchanahat se zanjir khud apne qadmon mein aa kar giri

bhaari-bharkam dahane khule
aur charkh chun ki fariyaad ke sath

patri par dabbe sarakne lage
subh ki dudhiya chhanw mein

aankh malte hue sab ye hairat-zada dekhte the
koi khinchne wala engine na tha

aur tarai utarti gai
un ki raftar badhti gai

khar-o-khas ko kuchalti hui
tez se tez-tar

tez tar tez-tar
ab ye patri jahan un ko le jae

jaenge
ab ye musafir

jo is fazl-e-rabbi pe nazan the
hairan hain

mashkuk nazron se
ek dusre se gurezan se

wahmon ko dil mein chhupae hue
tez raftar badhte chale jaenge

ye kahan jaenge
