“Beete lamhon ka marsiya”
 
Chiragh Aakhri sanson main apni dooba hai
 
Andhaire god main baithe hain laike kamre  ko
 
Shikastagi hai bichi aik sahn e bad ru main
 
Kahin kahin pai hawaon ne khak rakh di hai
 
Hai dar bhi odhe huye ik rida udasi ki
 
Hai chat bhi zakhm raseeda atab ki soorat
 
Jahan se os kabhi chandni tapakti hai
 
Utar daiti hain deewarain roz kapdon ko
 
Bacha hua hai zaifi main jo ke aangan main
 
Who neem aik kahani hai guzre maosam ki
 
Kabhi baraste the badal ghatayen aati thin
 
Kabootaron ke basere isi pai hote the
 
Mamole karte the aapas main guftugu aksar
 
Gharonde bante the unke yahin pai rah rah kar
 
Chahakte rahte the har sham jhutputon ke hujoom
 
Magar yeh waqt hai is ki rawish anokhi hai
 
Kabutaron ki jgah Boom ke thikane hain
 
Har aik shakh pai tanhai ke fasane hain
 
Khamoshiyon ki sadaon ko cheerne ke liye
 
Bas ik karah e dil e pash pash uthti hai.
