juda thi baam se diwar dar akela tha

main ki tanha etibar-e-zat khone se hua

nazzara ajab uske gareban ki taraf tha

daman-e-shab mein chand ka manzar bhi dekh le

tarz mere rizq ki thoDi badal jaane ke baad

khunTi par laTka hua badan

ek kaifiyat

nekiyon se Khaali shahr

hawa hamare kis kaam ki

meri hi koi baat

kis tarah be-mauj aur Khaali rawani se hua

kahin sada-e-jaras hai na gard-e-rah-e-safar

juda thi baam se diwar dar akela tha

KHud bana leta hun main apni udasi ka sabab

maza to jab hai udasi ki sham ho shahin
