ye mana ki sare mazahir hain fitri
magar koi puchhe hawaon se

be-mehr kyun lati hai patte
hari daliyon se

zamin karwaten kyun badalti hai
lawe ugalti hai kyun

bastiyan rakh hoti hain
bah jate hain ganw ke ganw

jab taish mein daudta hai samundar haden bhul kar
bijliyan tut padti hain kyun khirmanon par

gahan chand suraj pe chhata hai kyun
ru-ba-ru hone ko kyun machal uthte hain

faslon mein bate
dur-uftada sayyare

tare zamin chum lete hain kyun
isi kurra-e-arz par

chand mitti ke tode
badi der se muntazir hain

kisi aise bartao ke
jo badal de sarapa

wo afaal jin se ibarat taharruk
wo aasar jin se qayamat huwaida

pae-qahr ya mehr
is pal

isi ek pal mein
machal jae fitrat
