kali raaton mein fasil-e-dard unchi ho gai
andhi galiyon mein khamoshi lash ban ke so gai

barf se thande andheron ki sisakti god mein
marte lamhon ki udasi dil mein kante bo gai

shahr ki soti chhaten hon ya fasurda raste
qatra qatra girti shabnam sab ka chehra dho gai

nind mein dube shajar se chikhte panchhi ude
khauf ke mare hawa mein kapkapi si ho gai

is akele-pan ke hathon hum to 'fikri' mar gae
wo sada jo dhundti thi jangalon mein kho gai
