kya kahun zakhm kitna gahra hai
dur tak sirf mahz sahra hai

har qadam par bagule raqsan hain
rah mein har-su shoale raqsan hain

na shajar hai na koi saya hai
koi chashma na koi dariya hai

dhup sar par barasti rahti hai
pyas lab par larazti rahti hai

tirgi chashm-e-tar pe tari hai
aur safar hai ki phir bhi jari hai
