mujhko mat chhuna ki ris kar phuTne wala hun main
raat ki sari haqiqat din mein uryan ho gai
sham-e-gham ki hai ata subh-e-masarrat di hai
andheri khai se goya safar chaTan ka tha
umr bhar pesh-e-nazar mah-e-tamam aate rahe
na jaane kab se main gard-e-safar ki qaid mein tha
na jaane kaun sa manzar nazar se guzra tha
dekh ufuq ke pile-pan mein dur wo manzar Dub gaya
Thokaron ki shai parastish ki nazar tak le gae
zindagi ke kaise kaise hausle pathra gae
hamari jit yahi thi ki KHud se haar aae
bhuli-bisri KHwahishon ka bojh aankhon par na rakh
hamare KHwab hamari pasand hote gae
