dard ka nam pata mat puchho
dard ek khema-e-aflak

is iqlim pe hai saya kunan
tum ise qutub shumali kah lo

tum jidhar aankh utha kar dekho
barf hi barf hai

aur raat hi raat
hum wo maujud ki jin mein shayad

zindagi banne ke aasar abhi baqi the
hashraat aise ki jin ko shayad

raushni aur hararat ki zarurat thi abhi
is andhere mein kaho barf pe rengen kaise

koi batlao ki is raat ke aazar se niklen kaise
raat aisi ki jo dhalti hi nahin

barf aisi ki pighalti hi nahin
