ye mai-kashi ka sabaq hai nae nisab ke sath

yun sukunat ki talabgar hui jati hai

humse to rah-o-rasm hai aghyar ki tarah

nishan manzil ka batlaya na mujhko ham-safar jaana

ye diya KHun se jala phir bhi jala hai to sahi

mai-kada sa bana diya ghar mein

kya fasane mein mera nam kahin hota hai

hum apne zaKHm sabhi ko dikha nahin sakte

un ke qisse agar bayan hote

uljhan mein hast-o-bud ki yun mubtala hun main

main bhi kya zabt aazmata hun

masruf rahguzar pe chala ja raha tha main

azal se be-sabaati ka gila tha

dastur tha jo gham ka purana badal gaya

bas har ek raat yahi jurm kiya hai maine
