bala ki pyas us ki aankh mein hai
hijaz ki sarzamin pe is sal is qadar barishen hui hain ki khushk talab

khun-e-nahaq se bhar gae hain
lahu ki pyas us ki aankh mein hai

nafas mein barud jis ki qatil sada ka shoala
qadam qadam tahniyat ke raste rawan hua to wo nakhl jis ki jaden zaminon ke

dard mein thin
jhuka kuchh aise ki jaise haal-e-rukua mein ho

udas tair jo shakh par the
jo gumbadon ki panah mein the

jo jaliyon ke tawaf mein the
dare hue aasman-e-hijrat ki tahniyon se

nasheb mein us zamin-e-maqtal ko dekhte hain
jahan wo nakhl is tarah gira hai ki jaise haal-e-sujud mein ho

ek aur talab taza barish se bhar gaya hai
