Safa Aur Sidq Ke BeTe

purani baat hai

lekin ye anhoni si lagti hai

sawad-e-sharq ka ek shahr

tariki mein Duba tha

achanak shor sa uTTha

zamin jaise taDaKH jae

nadi mein baDh aa jae

koi koh-e-giran jaise jagah se apni haT jae

baDa kohram tha

KHilqat

mata-o-mal se mahrum nange sar

gharon se chiKH kar nikli

magar aal-e-safa-o-sidq ke KHeme nahin ukhDe

wo apni KHwab-gahon se nahin nikle

riwayat hai

safa-o-sidq ke beTe

hamesha raat aate hi

hisar-e-hamd

apne chaar jaanib khinch lete the

muqaddas aayaton ko apne pe dam kar ke sote the

riwayat hai

balaen un ke darwazon se

wapas lauT jati thin

sawad-e-sharq ka wo shahr

us shab Dher tha lekin

safa-o-sidq ki aulad ke KHeme nahin ukhDe
