Phir safar be-samt be-manzil hua

barf be-mausam giri
chaTTan se maidan tak

be-daraKHton ki zamin
be-un bheDon ke liye

zinda rahna aur marna donon mushkil ho gae
aankh be-manzar KHala ko

takte takte thak gai
waqt ki raftar ko

batlane wali suiyan
hindison ki be-sila bekar gardish karte karte ruk gain

aaDe tirchhe unche niche raste
barf ki moTi tahon mein chhup gae

phir safar be-samt be-manzil hua
barf ke ujle badan ki

munhani nili ragon mein
kaun suraj ban ke dauDe

kis tarah ye barf pighle
aag ba-shola hui

phir safar be-samt be-manzil hua
be-un bheDon ke liye

zinda rahna aur marna donon mushkil ho gae
