dil ke daagh men siisa hai aur zaḳhm-e-jigar men tanba hai
itna bhari siina le kar shaḳhs avara phirta hai
kanch ke reze tez hava men bavle uḌte phirte hain
nange badan ki chandni se phir taara taara girta hai
aadhe peḌ pe sabz parinde aadha peḌ asebi hai
kaise khule ye ram-kahani kaun sa hissa mera hai
kaale devta muTThi bhar bhar suune gharon men phenkte hain
kohr-zada basti ke chauk men raakh ka uncha Tiila hai
sard shabon ka pochhne vaalo in raton ke taare duur
dhundle chand ki nabzen gungi aag ka chehra niila hai
piplon vaali galiyan ujḌi Dher hain piile patton ke
samne vaali surḳh haveli men bhuton ka Dera hai
