falak par koi sazish ho rahi hai
samundar par hi barish ho rahi hai

hatae ja rahe hain kaam ke log
nikammon par nawazish ho rahi hai

dabaya ja raha hai khubiyon ko
jihaalat ki numaish ho rahi hai

burai chal rahi hai pith pichhe
magar munh par sataish ho rahi hai

nawaza ja raha hai dushmanon ko
wafadaron se pursish ho rahi hai

'atiq' ab chal-chalaw ki ghadi hai
duaon ki guzarish ho rahi hai
