Kaisi Uftad PaDi

dekhte dekhte sab dhund mein tahlil hue

dasht kohsar falak aab nabaatat sabhi

buildingen chhoTi-baDi dur talak phaile ghar

ikka-dukka jo kahin log nazar aate the

wo bhi mashghul the

be-ruh si sar-garmi mein

har koi nauha-kunan tha ki purani sadiyan

buDhi tahzib ko dafna ke abhi lauTi hain

aur ab DhunDhti hain

an-dekhe khanDar ko shayad

kaisa gambhir safar KHatm hua aaKHir-e-kar

kaisi uftad paDi ahl-e-zamin aaj ke din

hum ki aaghaz the anjam ki tamsil hue

dekhte dekhte hum dhund mein tahlil hue
