Bulbul chahchahana bhool gaya hai,
Insaan muskarana bhool gaya hai,
Shayad khuda iss watan ko hee bhool gaya hai..

Khamoosh har zubaan hai,
Viraan har raah hai.
Bhot pehlay ho chukay aazab ka pada hai,
karbala ka wo waqt yaha aa k shayd ruka hai..

Yun too ek arsay say mahboos hai,
Par na jaany kyun aaj khud pai taras aaraha hai.

- Danish iqbal
