sunahri darwaze ke bahar

larazte badan
rang kohre mein lipte hue

adh-mari raushni ka kafan odh kar
maut ki sar-zamin mein ujalon pe qurban hone se pahle

bahut der tak
apne ehsas ki aanch sahte rahe

sham
nim tarik rahon pe matha ragadti rahi

kanpti thartharaati shab-e-gham ke sanche mein dhalne se pahle
bahut der tak

sard fanus ke pas thahri rahi
chand

aakash ke gahre nile samundar mein taron ki indar-sabha se
bahut der tak

maut ki sarzamin par ujalon ki gul-poshiyan kar raha tha
lahad-ta-lahad koi saya na khaka

qadam-ta-qadam manzilon ke nishan gum
makinon se khali makanon ke dar

takhtiyan rahne walon ke namon ki le kar
bahut der tak muntazir the magar

koi dastak na aahat
idhar

be-zaban shahr ki tirgi mein
larazte badan

kaif-o-kam ke badalte hue zawiyon mein
ulajhte chhalakte bikharte simatte rahe

aur kohre mein lipte hue
shakh-dar-shakh raushni se guzar kar

salibon ke sae mein dam le rahe hain
