Gharaunde

kahte hain ek roz ye mirriKH bhi kabhi

apni zamin hi ki tarah ek jahan tha

aabaad the wahan bhi baDe pur-shikoh log

ilm-o-hunar mein hikmat-o-danish mein taq the

muTThi mein un ki sari tawanai qaid thi

atom ki quwwaton pe baDa iKHtiyar tha

ek roz un ki ghalati se ya phir ghurur se

atom ki sari quwwaten aazad ho gain

sari hawa-e-zist faza se nikal gai

mirriKH jo zamin hi jaisa jahan tha

jal-bhun ke murda KHak ka ek Dher rah gaya

hum bhi to ilm-o-hikmat-o-danish mein kam nahin

hum ko bhi apni atomi taqat pe naz hai
