shahr-e-jaan
aaj viran hai
jaise gahri siyah raat ho


dard ki tez aandhi mein sare diye bujh gae
har taraf tirgi
ek jugnu bhi baqi nahin
bas andheron ki diwar hai


yas ke dasht mein
na-rasai ki yalghaar hai
hasrat-o-gham ki zanjir hilti hai jhankar hai
koi munis nahin


zindagi bar hai

subh-dam
yak-ba-yak


jaise jadu nagar
sara manzar badalne laga
ek shishe ka pinjra ki meri ana-gir nazron ke mantar ki hiddat se
jaise pighalne laga


phir chhanake se tuta mere samne
ab to ehsas ki sab fasilon se bahar
mera asp-e-tazi wafadar hai
aur muradon ka ek dilruba qartaba samne mere tayyar hai


aaj main hi sikandar hun aur
aaj mere hi dast-e-junun mein chamakti hui ek talwar hai
