Ye baghawat hai

raundte jao guzargahon ko
sar uThae hue

sina tane
kanp jaen dar-o-diwar

qadam yun uThen
dhaDkanen dil ki banen bang-e-rahil

ye baghawat hai
baghawat hi sahi

hum ne anjam-e-wafa dekh liya
KHas-o-KHashak bahata hua apna sailab

ab jo uTha hai to baDhta hi chala jaega
ye zar-o-sim ke tudon se nahin ruk sakta

goliyan
kis ko Daraate ho

ye Das sakti hain
Das jaane do

be-nawa sust-qadam wamanda
sal aate the chale jate the

waqt ke daman KHush-rang pe kale dhabbe
KHushk-lab hanpte bebas ayyam

rah ke beach mein uljhe hue rah jate the sustane ko
ghabrae hue

ab to har sans dahakta hua angara hai
dil ki barfab the ab aatish-e-sayyal ka fawwara hain

barq-raftar hai waqt
aur hum waqf se do-chaar qadam aage hain

chiKH uThen qarnaen
jhanjh bajen

dhum ho naqqaron ki
muskuraate hue gate hue baDhte jao

phenkte hain hamein taron pe kamand
KHema-zan hona hai mirriKH ke maidanon mein
