pani aankh mein bhar kar laya ja sakta hai
kha ke sukhi roTiyan pani ke sath
shajar samajh ke mera ehtiram karte hain
sans ke shor ko jhankar na samjha jae
panw paDta hua rasta nahin dekha jata
baiThta uThta tha main yaron ke bich
charagh-e-subh jala koi na-shanasi mein
wo kaun hai jo pas-e-chashm-e-tar nahin aata
mujh tahi-jaan se tujhe inkar pahle to na tha
pas-e-ghubar madad mangte hain pani se
ye to nahin farhad se yari nahin rakhte
humne chup rah ke jo ek sath bitaya hua hai
ye wahime bhi ajab baam-o-dar banate hain
dar-e-ufuq pe raqam raushni ka bab karen
sans ke ham-rah shoale ki lapak aane ko hai
