honton par sahra rahta hai aankh mein khaara pani
ek kinara aag hai mera ek kinara pani

sukhe ped aur pyasi aankhen aasman ko dekhen
mitti mein ja kar chhup baitha dhup ka mara pani

chaak ki is gardish ne mah-o-sal lapet liye
kuza-gar ki sari punji mitti gara pani

aatish-gir masafat hai aur ek rista mashkiza
kab tak sath rahega aakhir ye bechaara pani

aankh ke bahte ashkon se hi pyas bujhani hogi
hijr ke tapte sahra mein hai sirf sahaara pani

kaun gali se guzrun aur main kaise tujh tak aaun
basti sari daldal hai aur rasta sara pani

sahra ko hai yaad abhi tak pyas ki fath-e-kaamil
zulm ko kaise mat hui aur kaise haara pani
