pichhle safar ka aks-e-ziyan mere samne
sab bastiyan dhuan hi dhuan mere samne
kis KHitta-e-talab mein achanak paDe the panw
umDa hua tha dasht-e-guman mere samne
jhonka sa bit jaun ki diwar sa rukun
ek aa paDi hai ja-e-aman mere samne
shahr-e-sada pe hai koi parda paDa hua
koi gali na koi makan mere samne
is par bhi kya sabab hai ki uThte nahin qadam
jangal na koi koh-e-giran mere samne
dekho to aabju si jo chhu lun to dhul KHak
kya shai hai misl-e-reg-e-rawan mere samne
jis ke sabab raha hadaf-e-roz-o-shab hi main
TuTi hai us ufuq ki kaman mere samne
