us ki aamad ke tasawwur se sambhalti aawaz
us ki qurbat ki tamazat se pighalti aawaz

subh-dam shokh parindon ke chahakne ki sada
band kaliyon ke nae rup ki khulti aawaz

bahr-e-zakhkhar ki aadat hai ye thahra hua shor
tez dariyaon ke pani ki machalti aawaz

kohsaron ke chatakhne se garajne ki sada
aur chashmon ki rawani se uchhalti aawaz

gardish-e-khun mein rawan dil ke dhadakne ki sada
ashk-e-khun-nab ke andar se ubalti aawaz

kar-khanon ki mashinon ki milon ki aawaz
gadiyon tangon bason cyclion ki aawaz

bahr-o-bar kuchh bhi na hote ye jahan kya hota!
gar ye aawaz na hoti to yahan kya hota
