dekh kar us ko mujhe dhachka laga
misl-e-dariya tha magar pyasa laga

nafraton ki dhund mein lipta laga
aaine ka naqsh bhi jhuta laga

sakht-jaan the bach gae is bar bhi
zakhm ab ke bhi hamein gahra laga

pure qad se istada jab hue
shahr ka har shakhs phir bauna laga

kis ki chhanw saeban karte 'shafiq'
har shajar par khauf ka saya laga
