Dariya-e-charls ke kinare ek nazm

ye girja hai ki mujh par aasman ki mehrbani hai
salibi-jang mein sare sipahi kaam aae

ab kise pani pilaogi tum apne daman-e-tar se
uThaogi kise phaile hue bazu pe nile naKHunon par rok logi

aankh chehra
jab zamin par rakh hogi aur miTTi phail jaegi

tanaben rakh ho jaen to miTTi phail jati hai
zaminon aasmanon par

so girja mujh pe nile aasman ki mehrbani hai
ye dariya hai ki mujh par aasman ki mehrbani hai

zamin jab rakh ho jae to dariya phail jata hai
aur us ko rok leti ho tum apni KHushk aankhon mein

badan ki aaD de kar
jab sipahi raste mein baiTh jate hain

bichha dete hain saya pattiyon phulon kinaron ka
tumhaare daman-e-tar ka

utar jate hain gili jhaDiyon mein aag le kar
aasman dekha nahin jata

to bhigi ret ko sukhi hawa mein chhante hain
aur miTTi phail jati hai

ye miTTi mujh ko kal tak aasmanon mein uDati thi
ye dariya mujh ko kal tak khinch lata tha zaminon par

ye miTTi phailti jati hai
dariya sukhta jata hai

mujh par aasman ki mehrbani hai
