mutthi bhar khak se zist ka saman
ret ke tude par shishe ka makan

jo ban jae to makinon ke dhadakte dil
khauf se larza-o-hirasan rahen har pal

ki purab se aai aandhi
ya pachchhim se patthar ki zarb

chahaar-jaanib changez-o-halaku ke ja-nashin
amn-o-shanti ke pardon mein halakat ki baaten

jin se laraz jaen pahadon ke parat
kamzor hath duaon ke liye uthte hue

nai tahzib mein khud ko tanha dekh kar
ki purab se aai aandhi

ya pachchhim se patthar ki zarb
mutthi bhar khak se zist ka saman

ret ke tude par shishe ka makan
