pau phati ek taza kahani mili
khairiyat us ki din ki zabani mili

koi rahat na hum ko zamini mili
jo bhi saughat thi aasmani mili

qaid-e-diwar-o-dar se jo mahfuz hai
aise ghar ki hamein pasbani mili

koi patta na khadka kahin raat-bhar
har taraf khauf ki hukmarani mili

aur bhi log the shahr-e-bimar mein
ek hamin ko magar tarjumani mili
