aandhi mein bisat ulat gai hai
ghanghor ghata bhi chhat gai hai

wo gard udai hai dukhon ne
diwar-e-hayat at gai hai

khanjar ki tarah thi reg-e-sahra
kheme ki tanab kat gai hai

miras-e-gulab thi jo khushbu
jhonkon mein hawa ke bat gai hai

pyason ka hujum rah gaya hai
ek tir se mushk phat gai hai

ek aur bhi din guzar gaya hai
miad-e-azab ghat gai hai

sahil ki badha ke tishnagi mauj
dariya ki taraf palat gai hai

phailaunga panw kya main 'gulzar'
chadar hi meri simat gai hai
