Saya-e-diwar

kaisa sunsan hai dasht-e-awargi

har taraf dhup hai har taraf tishnagi

kaisi be-jaan hai mai-kade ki faza

jism ki sansani ruh ki KHastagi

is do-rahe pe khoe gae hausle

is andhere mein gum ho gai zindagi

ai gham-e-arzu main bahut thak gaya

mujh ko de de wahi meri apni gali

chhoTa-moTa magar KHub-surat sa ghar

ghar ke aangan mein KHushbu si phaili hui

munh dhulati sawere ki pahli kiran

saeban par amar-bel mahki hui

khiDkiyon par hawaon ki aTkheliyan

rauzan-e-dar se chhanti hui raushni

sham ko halka halka uThta dhuan

pas chulhe ke baiThi hui lakshmi

ek angiThi mein koele dahakte hue

bartanon ki suhani madhur ragni

ras-bhare git masum se qahqahe

raat ko chhat pe chhiTki hui chandni

subh ko apne school jate hue

mere nanhe ke chehre pe ek tazgi

rishte-nate mulaqaten mehmaniyan

dawaten jashn tyauhaar shadi ghami

ji mein hai apni aazadiyan bech kar

aaj le lun ye pabandiyon ki KHushi
