Ik baat
Jo misle mahi-e-be-aab.
Tarapti rahi saagir-e-sukhan ke kinare
Chillati rahi geeli rait mein
Aur haraawal lehron ku apna mud’a sunati rahi
Saath chalne ki faryad duhrati rahi
Lehrein thi shayad naraaz us se
So chhin gai aaj us ki aawaz us se
Aur who dhundli, na-mukammal tasweerein
Aur un se jure
Be-ma’ni lafzon ke musawwade
Madfoon thehre khuli aankhon.
