aate aate mira naam sa rah gayaus ke honton pe kuchh kaanpata rah gaya

ham to kuchh der hañs bhi lete hain dil hamesha udaas rehta hai

bade naadaan ho tum bhi zara samjha karo baatein gale milkar jo roti hai bichhadkar kitna royegi

poochte hain vo ki ghalib kaun hai koi batlaao ki ham batlaayein kya

haal meethe falon ka mat poochho raat din chaakooon men rahte hain

jab talak quwwat-e-takhyul hai aap pahluu se uth nahin sakte

shah-savaaron ne raushni maangi main ne baisaakhiyaan jala daaliin

use le kar jo gaadi ja chuki hai main shaayad us ke neeche aa raha hooñ

nahin ho tum to aisa lag raha hai ki jaise shahar men karf yuñ laga hai

kamra khola to aankh bhar aayi ye jo KHushboo hai jism thii pahle
