baat se baat ki gahrai chali jati hai

ajib manzar hai barishon ka makan pani mein bah raha hai

ek suraKH sa kashti mein hua chahta hai

shairi ruh mein tahlil nahin ho pati

phul ka shaKH pe aana bhi bura lagta hai

zinda rahna hai to sanson ka ziyan aur sahi

dhuan dhuan hai faza raushni bahut kam hai

tawil hijr hai ek muKHtasar visal ke baad

phul khila de shaKHon par peDon ko phal de malik

rah mein ghar ke ishaare bhi nahin niklenge

main jaanta hun KHushamad-pasand kitna hai

sang the pighle to pani ho gae

apni hasti ko miTa dun tere jaisa ho jaun

chaDha hua hai jo dariya utarne wala hai

dhup se bar-sar-e-paikar kiya hai maine
