Sar se chaadar badan se qabaa le gayi,
zindagi hum faqeeron se kya kya le gayi.
Meri mutthi mein sookhe hue phool hain,
khusbuon ko udaa kar hawaa le gayi.
Main samundar ke seene mein chattaan tha,
raat ek mauj aayi baha le gayi.
Hum jo kaaghaz the ashqon se bheege hue,
kyon chiraaghon ki lau tak hawaa le gayi.
Chaand ne raat mujh ko jaga kar keha,
ek ladki tumhara pata le gayi.
Meri shoharat siyaasat se mahfoos hai,
ye tawaayaf bhi ismat bacha le gayi. !!
