hudud-e-shahr se bahar
kadakti dhup mein chatiyal pahadon par

main nange panw chalna chahti hun mujhe mahsus hota hai
hawa sahra mein tanhai ka nauha padh rahi hai chatanon ke badan

mere gulabi narm talwon se kuchal jaane ki hasrat mein sulagte hain
dahakte pattharon ke hont

meri ungliyon ke lams ki chahat mein jalte hain
kisi zi-ruh ke qadmon ki aahat ko tarasti ye chatanen

jaane kab se muntazir hain un ki jo dukh bant lete hain
qarib aate hain

duri ki khalijen pat lete hain
main un se ja milungi aur sargoshi karungi

suno main bhi dukhi hun farq bas ye hai
tumhein tanhai ka gham hai mujhe logon se mil kar dukh mile hain

suno tanhai be-shak jaan-gusil hai dushman-e-dil hai
magar tanhai mein phir bhi aman hai ye dukh kaisa hi gahra kyon na ho

phir bhi rag-e-jaan se qarib aae hue
logon ke bakhshinda dukhon se kam hi hoga

kam hi hota hai use sahna bahut mushkil sahi mumkin to hota hai
