malbus pahne raat apna zar-nigar
zer-e-jama taz mein latka hua

us ka siyah
shoale ugalte naliyon ke daere, faulad ke

jannat se dhutkari hui aulad ke
raaton ko chalte karwan

mismar shahron ka dhuan
ahmarin sayyal se chhilke hue

baghon ke hauz
naffat ke shoale zamin par phenkte hain

ras-chakkar ke buruj
ghas ke jhulse hue maidan mein

ek kamar tak barhana
langot bandhe pahalwan

khelta hai daw-pech
ek na-paida adu se

nahin karta jo us ka samna
