shikast kha ke bhi kab hausle hain kam mere
mere kate hue hathon mein hain alam mere

panah-gah mujhe bhi to saur jaisi de
meri talash mein dushman hain taza-dam mere

tujhe main kaise bataun kahan se kaisa hun
ulajh rahe hain ba-dastur pech-o-kham mere

kis aasman ki wusat talash karte hue
zamin se dur nikal aae hain qadam mere

tu ye sawal bhi ab dajla o furaat se puchh
main kya bataun kahan lut gae haram mere

jami rahi hai chatanon pe barf sadiyon tak
to ja ke phir kahin patthar hue hain nam mere
