jahaan se jee na lage tum wahin bichhad jaana magar KHuda ke li.e be-vafaaii na karna

koi honthon pe ungli rakh gaya hai usii din se main likhkar bolta hooñ

meraa kirdaar meri baat kahaan sunta hai ye samajhdaar meri baat kahaan sunta hai ishq hai waada-faramosh nahin hai koi dil talabgaar meri baat kahaan sunta hai

maang sindoor bharii haath hinaai karke roop joban ka zaraa aur nikhar aayega jiske hone se meri raat hai raushan raushan chaand men aaj vahii aks nazar aayega

ik aur kitaab khatm ki phir us ko faad kar kaaghaz ka ik jahaaz banaya khushi hui

vo kisi ko yaad kar ke muskuraya tha udhar aur main naadaan ye samjha ki vo meraa hua

ha men bhi waqt ne patthar sifat banaa daala humeen the mom kii soorat pighalne waale log sitam to ye ki hamaari safoon men shaamil hain charaagh bujhte hi KHema badlne waale log

vo jo KHvaab the mere zehan men na main kah sakaa na main likh sakaa ki zabaan mili to kati hui jo qalam mila to bika hua

aaj phir neend ko aankhoñ se bichhadte dekha aaj phir yaad koi chot puraani aayi

muddaton b'ad muyassar hua maa ka aanchal muddaton b'ad ha men neend suhaani aayi
