sabz patton ko jo taraste hain
un darakhton pe kash phal dekhun

ai gham-e-dil agar ijazat ho
do-ghadi ke liye sambhal dekhun

main ki sae ko bhi tarasta hun
khwab mein nit-naya mahal dekhun

zulm ka zaiqa to ho malum
kyun na ek phul ko masal dekhun

shayad apna suragh mil jae
dasht-e-tanhai se nikal dekhun

phir sambhaale nahin sambhalta dil
us ki jaanib jo ek pal dekhun
