Chup the bargad KHushk mausam ka gila karte na the

chup the bargad KHushk mausam ka gila karte na the
chal rahi thin aandhiyan patte sada karte na the

hum rasida the ki dekhen dusron ko shoala-pa
the safar mein aur safar ki ibtida karte na the

band tha pani saf-ara the ghanim-e-ru-siyah
hum ada is par bhi rasm-e-karbala karte na the

mutmain the ahl-e-maqtal nim-jaan kar ke mujhe
kaisi hushyari thi sar tan se juda karte na the

hum ko kis shab zinda rahne ki hawas hoti na thi
din mein hum kab KHud-kushi ka faisla karte na the

kaise dur-andesh munsif the ki insafan mujhe
mante the be-KHata lekin riha karte na the
