dur sahra mein jahan dhup shajar rakhti hai

ek ek mauj ko sone ki qaba deti hai

ye jo rabt ru-ba-zawal hai ye sawal hai

ek azab hota hai roz ji ka khona bhi

roz khulne ki ada bhi to nahin aati hai

koi lahja koi jumla koi chehra nikal aaya

zamin tashkil de lete falak tamir kar lete

log hairan hain hum kyun ye kiya karte hain

aaj bhi jis ki hai ummid wo kal aae hue

sah-pahar hi se koi shakl banati hai ye sham
