talluqat-e-wafa mein jo sard ab tak hai
kai mahaz pe garm-e-nabard ab tak hai

agarche shahr ke haalat pur-sukun bhi hain
har ek chehra magar zard zard ab tak hai

bhadak uthe to zamane ki khair na-mumkin
wahi jo aag si sine mein sard ab tak hai

tumhaari baat se wo sang-dil pighalta kya
tumhaara dil bhi to mahrum-e-dard ab tak hai

wo ek khwab ki tabir pa saka na abhi
wo ek khayal ki sahra-naward ab tak hai

hawa ne kaun se khwabon se dil lagaya tha
hamari tarah jo aawara-gard ab tak hai
