Kam ter ki havas mein jo brabar ki hawa thi,
Apni to samajh se hi baher woh  hawa thi,

Kaya sabzai baigana bichha tha mery ander,
Kaya charon taraf sabz sanober ki hwa thi,

Is sham to kuch aur bhi raushan the sitare,
Aisi koi is mah-e-munawwer ki hawa thi ,

Ek pair tha, aur,pair ke baher koi mausam,
Ek bagh tha aur bagh  ke ander ki hawa thi,

Ek chhaun rahi dhoop ki chader ke tale aur,
Sahra ke bagolaon mein samander ki hawa thi,

Zanjeer  zyan bhi thi mere paon mein lakin,
Hathon mein kisi khuabe muatter ki hawa thi,

Main bhi tha kisi aur traf mahv-e-tamasha,
Who bhi kisi mit-te huai manzar ki hawa thi,

Baher ki traf rukh tha mere seele sukhan ka ,
Lakin  yeh kisi gunbad-e-be-der ki hawa thi ,

Muddat se zafar ,rok rakh tah jise main ne ,
Sheeshe  ke muqabil kisi pathther ki hawa thi .
