rootha tha main bahut dinon se maan gaya lekin kaan pakad kar jab vo boli soree-voree sab

maut ka ek din muayyan hai neend kyun raat bhar nahin aati

kabhi jo KHvaab tha vo pa liya hai magar jo kho gaii vo cheez kya thii

ye tere khat ye teri KHushboo ye tere khwaab-o-khayaal mataa-e-jaan hain tere kaul aur qasam ki tarah guzishta saal maine inhen ginkar rakha tha kisi gareeb ki jodi hui rakam ki tarah

tum poochho aur main na bataaun aise to haalaat nahin ek zaraa sa dil toota hai aur to koi baat nahin

khaamoshi jin ko samajhdaar banaati hai raaj apni aawaaz ko vo log taras jaate hain

zindagi har sabq saleeqe se jaate jaate sikhaate jaati hai

zakhamon ko gudgudaate chaliye aap dard ko yuñ hansaate chaliye aap

shaakh se toot ke patte hawa kii or chale jis tarah toote hue dil KHuda kii or chale

muskurata hua ye gulshan-e-aafaq mira yahaañ har shaam teri khushboo bikhar jaati hai
