Ek samandar ke pyase kinare the hum,
apna paigam lati thi mouj e ravaa,

aaj do rail ki patriyon ki tarah,
sath chalna hai aur bolna tak nahin,

lakdiyon se tarashi huyi ladkiyan,
tin ke nojavaan mukhtlif rang mein,

dost hain dosti se magar bekhabar,
jaan e dushman hainlekin khafa tak nahin,

kesriya rang ke gesuon ki ghata,
aasmaa rang ke kot par chha gayi,

narm yaadon ke fariston ke parr,
dudhiya khamushi aur hawa tak nahin…
