hawa khamosh patte so rahe hain
abhi shakhon pe ghunche so rahe hain

sar-e-diwar suraj tap raha hai
pas-e-diwar sae so rahe hain

dar-e-dil par abhi dastak na dena
andhera hai ujale so rahe hain

hawa-e-tund tu bhi ja ke so ja
darakhton par parinde so rahe hain

khuli hain shab ke darwazon ki aankhen
magar ghar ke dariche so rahe hain

bakhil aisa nahin dekha hai dariya
ki hum sahil pe pyase so rahe hain

bahut zoron pe hai tufan lekin
samundar mein jazire so rahe hain

tajjub-khez hai dariya ka manzar
bhanwar chup hain kinare so rahe hain

maze hain lutne walon ke 'shahid'
ki ahl-e-shahr sare so rahe hain
