Kitne hi pairr khauf-e-khizaan se ujarr gaye..

Kitne hi pairr khauf-e-khizaan se ujarr gaye,
Kuch barg-e-sabzz waqt se pehle hi jharr gaye,

Kuch aandhiyaan bhi apnii muaavin safar mei theen,
Thak kar parrao daala to khaimay ukharr gaye,

Ab ke meri shikast mei un ka bhi haath tha,
Woh teer jo kamaan ke panjje mei garr gaye,

Suljhii theen guthiyaan meri daanist mei magar,
Haasil yeh hai ke zakhmon ke taanke ukharr gaye,

Iss ghar mei kya kahoon kya tilissm hai,
Khole they jitne qufl woh honnton pe parr gaye,

Be-saltanat huyi hain katti unchii gardnen,
Baahar saron ke dast-e-tasallut se dharr gaye..
