mere wajud mein the dur tak andhere bhi
kahin kahin pe chhupe the magar sawere bhi

nikal pade the to phir rah mein thaharte kya
yun aas-pas kai ped the ghanere bhi

ye shahr-e-sabz hai lekin bahut udas hue
ghamon ki dhup mein jhulse hue the dere bhi

hudud-e-shahr se bahar bhi bastiyan phailin
simat ke rah gae yun jangalon ke ghere bhi

samundaron ke ghazab ko gale lagae hue
kate-phate the bahut dur tak jazire bhi
