kahan main jaun gham-e-ishq-e-raegan le kar

har qadam sail-e-hawadis se bachaya hai mujhe

hamari gardish-e-pa raston ke kaam aai

patthar ki qaba pahne mila jo bhi mila hai

milan mausamon ki saza chahta hun

hawa ki andhi panahon mein mat uchhaal mujhe

kai koThe chaDhega wo kai zinon se utrega

ghurub-e-sham hi se KHud ko yun mahsus karta hun

hum baad-e-saba le ke jab ghar se nikalte the

KHurshid ki beTi ki jo dhupon mein pali hai

dil ko ranjida karo aankh ko pur-nam kar lo

zindagi aise gharon se to khanDar achchhe the

bichhaDte damanon mein phul ki kuchh pattiyan rakh do

wo aa gaya to sara pari-KHana ji uTha

hum bichhaD ke tum se baadal ki tarah rote rahe
