ajanabii Khauf fizaaon mein basaa ho jaise
sahar kaa shahar hii aaseb_zadaa ho jaise
raat ke pichhale pahar aatii hain aavaazen sii
duur saharaa mein ko_ii chiiKh rahaa ho jaise
dar-o-diivaar pe chhaa_ii hai udaasii aisii
aaj har ghar se janaazaa-saa uThaa ho jaise
muskuraataa huuN pa-e-Khaatir-e-ahabaab magar
dukh to chehare kii lakiiron pe sajaa ho jaise
ab agar Duub gayaa bhii to maruuNgaa na 'Kamaal'
bahate paanii pe meraa naam likhaa ho jaise
