sahra pe nur utar raha tha
suraj haya se mar raha tha

pani bhi ro pada tha us dam
pani bhi girya kar raha tha

har aankh zakhm dho rahi thi
har zakhm bain kar raha tha

sajde tera nasib hae
neze pe ek sar raha tha

dariya ka pani jab hua khushk
sahra lahu se bhar raha tha

aks-e-‘dua’-e-khair chamka
dil harf harf bikhar raha tha
