hum teri talKH guftugu sun kar

raat ke lamhat KHuni dastan likhte rahe

husn utna ek paikar main simaT sakta nahin

kuchh ehtiyat parinde bhi rakhna bhul gae

kitne zehnon ko kar gaya gumrah

kuchh nau-jawan shahr se aae hain lauT kar

bhul jaane ka mujhe mashwara dene wale

wo gulabi baadalon mein ek nili jhil si

qanun jaise kho chuka sadiyon ka etimad

wo andhi rah mein binaiyan bichhata raha

mere charagh ki nannhi si lau se KHaif hai

ujaD tapti hui rah mein bhaTakne lagi

milna paDta hai hamein KHud se bhi ghairon ki tarah

wo pata apni shaKH se zara juda hua hi tha

har shaKHs apni apni jagah yun hai mutmain
