KHuni qila

bahut hi saKHt bahut hi tawil hai ye ghaDi
is ahd-e-qahqari ka har qadam hai ek sadi

ye ahd jis pe kai naslon ki hai gard paDi
ye pir-zal ye qila kanar aab-e-rawan

bhaDakte sholon ke manind jis ka har gumbad
ye kangare hain ki hain bhaTTiyon ke angare

jala ke rakh diye jin ki tapish ne lakhon makan
ye hai alamat-e-fistaiyat girao se

hamare bachchon ke school se haTao ise
ye KHuni-qila ka phaTak hai ya dahan-e-jahim

fasil-e-sang ibarat hai KHun ke dhabbon se
diye lahun ke farozan kiye hue har taq

hai jin ke samne KHira tala o gauhar o sim
sada-e-raqs nikalti hui jharonkon se

kisi hasina-e-firaun ka mahal jaise
sutun marmarin angDai le ke nind mein chur

libas-e-barahnagi mein nihan qalo-patra
miyan-e-nil koi lash dekh kar hans de

is ahd-e-qahqari ka har qadam hai ek sadi
bahut hi saKHt bahut hi tawil hai ye ghaDi

naddi ye hai ki zamin par hai ek lash paDi
