hansi hansi mein koi khel chal raha hoga
sadak pe phir koi insan jal raha hoga

bahut udas hain hakim agar to shahr mera
kisi fasad ke sanche mein dhal raha hoga

jo garm chhinte hawaon ke sath aate hain
kisi ki aankh ka pani ubal raha hoga

andheri raat mein tapka tha khun-e-dil jis mein
usi charagh se suraj nikal raha hoga

kunwari lash ki aankhon mein jhank kar dekho
hasin khwab abhi tak machal raha hoga

wahin wahin pe chalenge ye tez khanjar bhi
jahan jahan tera akhbar chal raha hoga

badal rahi hai qafas mein hawa agar 'panchhi'
to maqtalon mein bhi mausam badal raha hoga
