kadi thi dhup sar chakra raha tha
main bhuka tha bahut ghabra raha tha

tumhaara shahr kya tha kya bataun
tamasha har koi dikhla raha tha

the us ke hath mein kashkol lekin
wo mehr-o-mah ko sharma raha tha

ana ka sanp main ne mar dala
bahut nuqsan ye pahuncha raha tha

amir-e-shahr se ye kaun puchhe
sitam kyon muflison par dha raha tha

lage thokar to khud hi tum sambhal jao
safar ka tajraba batla raha tha

akeli thi koi ladki sadak par
badan jis ka mujhe lalcha raha tha

ye kaisa khwab main ne 'faiz' dekha
samundar meri jaanib aa raha tha
