Ban-bas

raat din KHwab bunti hui zindagi

dil mein naqd-e-izafi ki lau

aankh bar-e-amanat se chur

mauj-e-KHun be-niyaz-e-maal

dasht-e-be-rang se dard ke phul chunti hui zindagi

KHauf-e-wamandgi se KHajil

aarzuon ke aashob se muzmahil

munh ke bal KHak par aa paDi

har taraf ek bhayanak sukut

koi nauha na aansu na phul

hasil-e-jism-o-jaan be-nishan rahguzaron ki dhul

ajnabi shahr mein

KHak-bar-sar hui zindagi

kaisi be-ghar hui zindagi
