bhole-bhaale insanon ka nam likha
kaghaz par changez likha bahram likha

sab ne rab ka nam likha tawizon par
lekin main ne apni man ka nam likha

sote rahiye dharti ki chadar odhe
apne haq mein rawi ne aaram likha

logon ne kashmir ki jhilen likkhi thin
main ne sulagta aur jalta aasam likha

mele-thele dholak tashe qawwali
qabron ki khamoshi par kohram likha

aksar meri andhi aankhen padhti hain
bahte hue pani par tera nam likha

aakhir ek din tut gaya sone ka qalam
mitti ne hi mitti ka anjam likha
