hai aasebon ka saya main jahan hun
shab-e-dasht-e-bala mein be-aman hun

hawa ki zad pe jaise shama ki lau
main apne hauslon ka imtihan hun

charaghan sa hai darwaze pe lekin
main andar se koi tera makan hun

wo baadal tha hawa ka ham-safar tha
main tishna-kaam fasl-e-raigan hun

sutun kachche the barish sah na pae
sulagti dhup mein be-saeban hun

pata mera ab us ko kya milega
nishan hote hue bhi be-nishan hun
