shahr ko choT pe rakhti hai gajar mein koi chiz

ghane arman gaDhi aarzu karne se milta hai

ek pareshani alag thi aur pashemani alag

pahaDon ko bichha dete kahin khai nahin milti

tanha kar ke mujhko salib-e-sawal pe chhoD diya

furaat-e-chashm pe hai karbala ki tughyani

kya shai hai khinch leti hai shab ko sar-e-falak
