teri giraft mein aae na khud ke bas mein rahe
hum abr ban ke hawaon ki dastaras mein rahe

wo kaun log the sahra mein jin ko phul mile
chaman mein rah ke bhi hum log khar-o-khas mein rahe

hamari sada-mizaji hi hum ko le dubi
hum aasman the lekin zamin ke bas mein rahe

wo qafile jo kahin dasht-e-shab mein dafn hue
sahar hui bhi to aawaza-e-jaras mein rahe

bujhe to kaise bujhe pyas jism-o-jaan ki 'nawed'
ki chand ghunt hi paimana-e-hawas mein rahe
