Shor-alud

ek muddat hui
dasht-e-awaz mein

koi tanha sada
KHamushi ki nawa

main nahin sun saka
gosh-e-muflis mere

ab tarasne lage hain
ki fitrat ki aawaz gham ho gai

zindagi apne hangam mein kho gai
shorish-e-gosh-o-lab

kash ki tham sake
tu mujhe KHud-kalami ka mauqa mile

main taKHayyul ki aahaT sunun
aur taKHliq ke an-sune git gane lagun

shor-o-ghul ke taffun-zada aise mahaul mein
ye faqat KHwab hai

ab kahan
wo KHalaon ke jaisa sukut-e-azal

wo samundar ki tah ka sukun-e-abad
is KHarabe mein ab

saz-o-awaz ki
maKHmali Doriyan

KHar-o-KHashak hone lagin
dard-e-asar hone lagin

ek ghuTan si fazaon mein paiwast hai
daur-e-ijad ki

mustaqil gaDgaDahaT
samaat ko banjar kiye ja rahi hai

KHayalat mafluj hone lage hain
meri ruh wahshat-zada hai

sar-e-arsa-e-KHastagi
KHamushi lapata hai
