saltanat ke zang-khurda aahani mahbas mein ek khilqat chhupi hai
bediyon aur bediyon se ediyon par padne wale zakhm ki aadi

ye ek bimar khilqat
aahani kantop se sar ko dhake

mahbas ki diwaron pe apne nakhunon se
aadi tedhi tirchhi lakiren khurachti

shah ki tausif mein ghaltan
raza raghbat se shadd-o-mad se masruf-e-amal hai

aur agar taza hawa ka koi jhonka
jab kabhi mahbas mein dar aae

to ye khilqat bilakti sarsaraati si mari aawaz mein
sargoshiyon mein

mukhbiri karti hai in taza hawaon ki
pas-e-zindan sipahi

zang-khurda aahani mahbas ki diwaron se
apne kan jode mukhbiri ke muntazir

taza hawa ke narm jhonke ki giraftari raqam karne ko bas tayyar baithe hain
khabar de do

hawa ko qaid karna is qadar aasan nahin hai
ye agar chalti hai to

koh-e-giran ko kat deti hai
kisi dimak-zada budhe shajar ko

us ki jad se hi utha kar phenk deti hai
hawa tufan ban jae to sab kuchh hi khas-o-khashak karti hai

khabar de do
hawa ab chal padi hai

saltanat ke aahani mahbas ke qaidi
mukhbiri karne mein pichhe rah gae hain

aur giraftari ke khwahish-mand
wo sare sipahi thak chuke hain

aahani mahbas ki diwaron mein rakhne ho chuke hain
aur hawa sargoshiyon se

tez-tar atraf mein had-e-nazar tak
ab musalsal phailti hi ja rahi hai


ye khabar de do

hawa ko qaid karna is qadar aasan nahin hai
hawa ab chal padi hai
