mabaada kal husn-e-be-badal par zawal aae
hum apni aankhon ko hi khala mein uchhaal aae

jo tere aanchal ki sarsarahat pe nachta tha
wo dil zarurat ki nangi mayyat pe dal aae

main khushk sahra ki ret par likh diya gaya hun
hawa mita de ya ban ke tu barshgal aae

bata rahe the teri phaban ke nafis tewar
hamare marne ke tere jine ke sal aae

ye mutmain zindagi hamein khokhla na kar de
nae sire se wo dard kar ke bahaal aae

ajib shatir hai ek hi chaal chal raha hai
naya tamasha nae zamane ki chaal aae
