aa rahi thi band kaliyon ke chatakne ki sada
main sarapa gosh ho kar raat bhar sunta raha

bah gaya zulmat ke sailab mein aiwan-e-sang
dhup jab nikli tamazat se samundar jal utha

jab rag-o-pai mein sarayat kar raha tha zahr-e-habs
rauzan-e-diwar se mujh par hansi thandi hawa

sabz kheton se koi sahra mein le jae mujhe
main hare suraj ki tabani se andha ho gaya

ban gai zanjir khushbu-dar mitti ki kashish
main zamin se jab khalaon ki taraf jaane laga
