shayad bata diya tha kisi ne mera pata

har ghaDi tera tasawwur har nafas tera KHayal

aankhon mein ek bar ubharne ki der thi

ye suraj kab nikalta hai unhin se puchhna hoga

main apne lafz yun baaton mein zae kar nahin sakta

maine mana ek guhar hun phir bhi sadaf mein hun

ummidon se parda rakkha KHushiyon se mahrum rahin

use ek but ke aage sar jhukate sab ne dekha hai

daman ke chaak sine ko baiThe hain jab bhi hum

jaane kitne log shamil the meri taKHliq mein

ab to itni bar hum raste mein Thokar kha chuke

yaad bhi aata nahin kuchh bhulta bhi kuchh nahin

suraj se us ka nam-o-nasab puchhta tha main

itni si baat raat pata bhi nahin lagi

ye kya ki roz pahunch jata hun main ghar apne
