mere panw ke niche bhi zamin hai

bahta hua dariya hun kahin par tha kahin hun

kisi gali kisi chhat par zarur niklega

na-mehrban hai tu to koi mehrban bhi hai

wo tanha tha to phir tanhai ka dam-saz hona tha

us aankh na us dil se nikale hue hum hain

kahin bhi ja ke basera karen udhar hi ke hain

jazire ki tarah meri nishani kis liye hai

sukun-e-dil ki KHatir ek sahaara DhunDte hain

diye jo kar diye gul ahd-e-shab mein rahte hue

kuchh nahin hone ke idrak se Darta kyun hai

dil ajnabi des mein laga hai

itna be-nafa nahin us se bichhaDna mera

ye dil bhi to Dubega samundar mein kisi ke

jab se apne ghar ke baam-o-dar se nikle hain
