    aur un mein Dolte pani ke qatre

    sab ke sab hilte the

    bas raftar mein ek dusre se muKHtalif the

    haweli gir gai thi

    unnabi gard ne diwar o dar gahna diye the

    fasilen surmai talab ke andar giri thin

    haram darwaza pain bagh mein aundha paDa tha

    aur us ki kil mein uljha hua

    barik parda hil raha tha
