yun chup hai shahr jaise ki kuchh bhi hua na ho
shayad ab is ke baad koi hadisa na ho

kanpa hai barg barg sa jo be-sabab abhi
ye jism aandhiyon ka koi rasta na ho

main thak chuka hun dasht-e-masafat ki dhup mein
koi sarab rah mari dekhta na ho

tughyan-e-bewafai mein duba rahun main kash
mere nasib mein tujhe ab dekhna na ho

ubhri hai khushk patton mein ek chikh dur tak
be-rahm koi panw unhen raundta na ho

sham-e-taraf jalane se pahle hi dekh lo
ye dasht-e-na-muradi-e-dil ka diya na ho

jo shakhs kal mila tha 'musawwir' ba-tarz-e-khas
us ki hi shakl ka wo koi dusra na ho
