ghan garaj megh khauf tanhai
badh rahe the sabhi dishaon se

hath phailae
andhkar ke bhut

nim-shab mahw-e-khwab sannata
timtimate diye ki zakhmi lau

le rahi thi sanbhal ke angdai
pau phati subh-e-nau nikhar aai

ek paigham-e-zindagi le kar
kaif-e-sad-jam-o-sarkhushi le kar

saz-o-mizrab-o-naghmagi le kar
muskurane lage gul-o-gulzar
