zameen ko tar-b-tar karne kisi din aayega baadalna jaane kin ghareebon ke gharo ko khayega baadal
sitaare noch laaunga kisi din zid pe aaya to
abhii gardish men hooñ yaaron bahut itaraayega baadal
ye saari machliyaan jab baddua dene lagengi tab
samundar pyaas se tadpega aur mar jaayega baadal
kahii par kam kahii zyaada ye kaisa faisla teraa
sambhal ja vaqt hai varna bahut pachhtaayega baadal
munaafiq hai ye raaton ka kisi ko bhi nahin bakhsha
jawaani zulf aañkhen aur kya-kya khayega baadal
humeen hain jo tujhe sar pe chadaakar firte rahte hain
kushaada zarf kar len ham to kya tik paayega baadal

raat ko aise jagana to kuchh bhi nahin

phir hamaara tadapna to kuchh bhi nahin
