hawa mein jo ye ek namnaki hai
sada tez raftar dariya ki hai

qadam rok mat pichhe mud ke na dekh
ye aawaz kam-bakht duniya ki hai

makan to mera la-makan ho gaya
shikayat magar tangi-e-ja ki hai

bhadakta hai shola sa rang-e-sukut
qalandar ke lahje mein be-baki hai

pada rah badan ke dariche na khol
meri ungliyon mein hawasnaki hai

shajar se lipat kar na roegi ye
hawa jo chali hai wo sahra ki hai

mere shisha-e-la-zaman par abhi
bahut gard imroz o farda ki hai

chamak aankh mein hairaton ki nahin
bas ek dhup tab-e-tamasha ki hai
