zakhmi paron mein dal kar us ke nagar ki khak
haikal samundaron se utha li safar ki khak

khwabon ke jism dher kharabon mein gham ke the
dil ne par is khandar se utha li nazar ki khak

sar mein hawa bhari thi khalaon ke bast ki
qadmon mein aa padi hai sitaron ke zar ki khak

kab tak masafaton hi se mitti kharab ho
is bar rah mein baithenge le kar hazar ki khak

in bastiyon ko qais ke qadmon ki lau mile
kuchon mein shab ke yar jala aae sar ki khak
