pachhta rahe hain dard ke rishton ko tod kar
sar phodte hain apne hi diwar-o-dar se log

patthar uchhaal uchhaal ke marham ke nam par
karte rahe mazaq mere zakhm mere log

kab tute dekhiye mere khwabon ka silsila
ab to gharon ko laut rahe hain safar se log

sailab jang zalzale tufan aandhiyan
sunte rahe kahaniyan budhe shajar se log

kya khub shohraton ki hawas hai khud apne nam
likhne lage kitabon mein ab aab-e-zar se log
