khirad bhi na-mehrban rahegi shuur bhi sar-garan rahega
in aandhiyon mein mera junun-e-wafa magar zau-fishan rahega

badal sakegi na fitrat-e-sarkashi ko ye gardish-e-zamana
azal se jo aasman bana hai abad talak aasman rahega

ulajh ulajh kar mujhe hawadis ki tund lahron se khelne do
fasurda sahil ka khushk mahaul mujh ko bar-e-garan rahega

abhi se meri nigahen is daur ke tasawwur ko chhu rahi hain
bujhi bujhi be-kason ki aahon pe bijliyon ka guman rahega

gharib insan ki khudi ko baghawaten gudguda rahi hain
na ye jabin ab jabin rahegi na aastan aastan rahega
