Ajnabi khauf fizaon me basa ho jaise

shahar ka shahar hi aseb zada ho jaise

rat ke pichle pahar ati ha avazain si

dur shahara main koi chiKh raha ho jaise

dar-o-divar pe chai hai udasi aisi

aj har ghar se janaza sa utha ho jaise

muskurata hun pa-e-Khatir-e-ahabab magar

dukh to chehre ki lakiron pe saja ho jaise

ab agar dub gaya bhi to marunga na ‘Kamal’

bahte pani pe mera nam likha ho jaise
