agar sardiyon ki kisi raat ko
koi bhuka gadagar
mere ghar pe aawaz de
us ko roTi ka TukDa na dunga
jhulasti hui saKHt dopahar mein
koi be-kas musafir
kahin pyas se gir paDe
us ko pani ka qatra na dunga
mera koi ham-saya mulk-e-adam ko sidhaare
to us ke janaze ko kandha na dunga
kisi ne meri be-hisi ka sabab mujh se pucha
to us se kahunga
mere shahr mein jis qadar nekiyan thin
wo ek shaKHs ki bewafai pe ro kar
kahin aasmanon mein gum ho gai hain
Nazm
Nekiyon se Khaali shahr
