dur dur sahra hai
aur dil akela hai

lafz lafz patthar hain
zakhm zakhm rasta hai

koh-e-jaan uthae hun
bojh mera apna hai

zard zard hain kaliyan
aur bagh mahka hai

din ko mat kaho qisse
koi rah bhula hai

main ki ishq-e-pechan hun
tu shikasta chhajja hai

kyun khamosh hai sabza
zahr pi ke soya hai

madrase ki inton par
sab kuchh ab bhi likkha hai
