dharti ki zaban sukh gai zard hui ghas
aakash se imsal utarti hai faqat pyas

aabaad hui sham ki raunaq mere ghar mein
sadkon pe bhatakna mujhe kyon aaega ab ras

hathon mein hai fursat ki gutha zist ka lachha
yaron ka sar-e-sham hua lawn pe ijlas

ab jaun kahan chhat se tapakti hain balaen
ab kis ka bharosa hua ghar ghar se nahin aas

manzar hain sabhi mere dil-e-bina pe raushan
ghurbat mein mera shahar bhi hota hai mere pas
