ek adn jal raha tha nigahban khuda
us ghadi satwen aasman par na tha

aur azal se abad tak ahata kiye
ek afi ki manhus aawaz thi

aur khuda mere sham-o-sahar mein na tha
mere ghar mein na tha

aur khuda
jo dabe panw khidki se pichhe hata

jo mere sath suni sadak par ruka
yak-ba-yak munfail hichkiyon mein bikharne laga

ek jalal-e-rawan mere hamrah galiyon mein chalne laga
aur khajalat ki ye raat

ek sard patthar pe takiya kiye
meri banhon mein banhen diye

mere mabud ne
qaharman karb mein kat di

aur adn jal bujha
zul-jalal aansuon ke tufail aaj bhi

har nafas ek sulagta hua farz hai
ek naya ghar muqaddas gharon ki qasam

mere mabud par aaj bhi qarz hai
