aaina dekhen na hum aks hi apna dekhen
chamka jo tirgi mein ujala bikhar gaya
sahra ka safar tha to shajar kyun nahin aaya
kaniz-e-waqt ko nilam kar diya sab ne
ek jumbish mein kaT bhi sakte hain
safar ka silsila aaKHir kahan tamam karun
dariya guzar gae hain samundar guzar gae
zindagi ko kar gaya jangal koi
labon par pyas sab ke be-karan hai
zindagi ko shoabada samjha tha main
wo nahin uski magar jadugari maujud hai
har aadmi kahan auj-e-kamal tak pahuncha
jo be-ghar hain unhen ghar ki dua deti hain diwaren
pai hamesha ret bhanwar kaTne ke baad
