sahra pe bura waqt mere yar paDa hai
sahrā pe burā vaqt mire yaar paḌā hai
dīvāna ka.ī roz se bīmār paḌā hai
sab raunaq-e-sahrā thī isī pagle ke dam se
ujḌā huā dīvāne kā darbār paḌā hai
āñkhoñ se Tapaktī hai vahī vahshat-e-sahrā
kāñdhe bhī batāte haiñ baḌā baar paḌā hai
dil meñ jo lahū-jhīl thī vo suukh chukī hai
āñkhoñ kā do-ābā hai so be-kār paḌā hai
tum kahte the din ho ga.e dekhā nahīñ us ko
lo dekh lo ye aaj kā aḳhbār paḌā hai
oḌhe hue ummīd kī ik mailī sī chādar
darvāza-e-baḳhshish pe gunahgār paḌā hai
ai ḳhāk-e-vatan tujh se maiñ sharminda bahut huuñ
mahñgā.ī ke mausam meñ ye tyauhār paḌā hai
sahra pe bura waqt mere yar paDa hai
diwana kai roz se bimar paDa hai
sab raunaq-e-sahra thi isi pagle ke dam se
ujDa hua diwane ka darbar paDa hai
aankhon se Tapakti hai wahi wahshat-e-sahra
kandhe bhi batate hain baDa bar paDa hai
dil mein jo lahu-jhil thi wo sukh chuki hai
aankhon ka do-aba hai so be-kar paDa hai
tum kahte the din ho gae dekha nahin us ko
lo dekh lo ye aaj ka aKHbar paDa hai
oDhe hue ummid ki ek maili si chadar
darwaza-e-baKHshish pe gunahgar paDa hai
ai KHak-e-watan tujh se main sharminda bahut hun
mahngai ke mausam mein ye tyauhaar paDa hai
- Book : Shahdaba (Pg. 128)
