patthar ki bhuri ot mein lala khila tha kal
aaj us ko noch le gain wo bachchiyan janab

aankhon mein raushni ki jagah tha khuda ka nam
panw tuda ke mar rahe jate kahan janab

hum barg-e-zard sabz khalaon mein chhup gae
hum ko hawa-e-sard thi sang-e-giran janab

bose ke dagh se hai munawwar jabin magar
jalti padi hai shama si pyasi zaban janab

kali zamin pe chhanti darichon se raushni
bahar to jhankiye hai anokha saman janab

nili chamakti dhup to bikti nahin kahin
hum kis ke hath bech den lafz-o-bayan janab
