simat na paae ki har-su bikhar gae the ham
hujum-e-yas men kya soch kar gae the ham
hue the raakh to kuchh rasta hi aisa tha
dabi thi aag zamin men jidhar gae the ham
ye kya ki phir se yahan hukmarani-e-shab hai
hisar-e-shab to abhi tod kar gae the ham
vo kya khushi thi ki barbad kar gai sab kuchh
vo kaisa gham tha ki jis se sanvar gae the ham
mili thiin phir bhi vo divaren ajnabi ban kar
agarche shaam se pahle hi ghar gae the ham
ghire the maslahat-andesiyon men puuri tarah
jo dil ka saath na dete to mar gae the ham
