main sach se gurezan hun aur jhuT pe nadim hun
kar-e-zindagani ke shor-o-shar mein muddat se
apni kashti sar pe rakh kar chal rahe hain hum shahab
hum mein aur parindon mein farq sirf itna hai
dil sambhaale nahin sambhalta hai
shayad wo bhuli-bisri na ho aarzu koi
is tarah saja rakkhe hain maine dar-o-diwar
zehn mein yaad ke ghar TuTne lagte hain shahab
istiare zamin se jaen
hote hote main pahunch jata hun apne aap tak
go tark-e-talluq mein bhi shamil hain kai dukh
main bhi shayad aapko tanha milon
subh tak jaane kahan mujhko uDa kar le jae
aisa bhi kabhi ho main jise KHwab mein dekhun
bikhra bikhra sa saz-o-saman hai
