khata hone lage the rad se ausan mere
ajab shor-e-qayamat mein ghire the kan mere

faza mein ek lahze ke liye jab barq chamki
andheri raat se tai ho gae paiman mere

lahu jamne ke nuqte par jo pahuncha to achanak
ulat dale hawa ne mujh pe aatish-dan mere

main mitti aag aur pani ki surat muntashir tha
phir ek din sab anasir ho gae yak-jaan mere
