Hae Shiddat Ki Kami

main jahan paida hua

parwarish paya baDha

aur jis ja aaj hun

un sabhi jaghon ka mausam

mo'tadil fayyaz muKHlis mehrban

jo tapane ya jamane ke amal se na-balad

KHak ke zarron ko bhobhal bante main ne

aaj tak dekha nahin

aur dariyaon ko rah-e-barf mein tabdil hote bhi na dekha

tajrabe miTTi ke londe gol chikne aur sapaT

nok hai un mein na dhaar

aur na chubhne ki sakat

ek aadat ek riwayat ek riwaj

kya mere bahar ka mausam aur kya mera mizaj!
