aasman par kale baadal chha gae

qadmon se itna dur kinara kabhi na tha

zaruraton ki hamahami mein jo rah chalte bhi Tokti hai wo shairi hai

kahin subh-o-sham ke darmiyan kahin mah-o-sal ke darmiyan

chup the jo but sawal ba-lab bolne lage

gaurayyon ne jashn manaya mere aangan barish ka

damak uThi hai faza mahtab-e-KHwab ke sath

gum hue jate hain dhaDkan ke nishan ham-nafaso

nishan-e-zaKHm pe nishtar-zani jo hone lagi
