jo tu nahin hai to ye mukammal na ho sakengi
tumhaara nam likhne ki ijazat chhin gai jab se
hazaron mausamon ki hukmarani hai mere dil par
zindagi ab ke mera nam na shamil karna
har ek muflis ke mathe par alam ki dastanen hain
har ek mausam mein raushni si bikherte hain
kaun kahta hai mulaqat meri aaj ki hai
is judai mein tum andar se bikhar jaoge
jaise ho umr bhar ka asasa gharib ka
mujhe KHabar thi ki ab lauT kar na aaunga
na tumhein hosh rahe aur na mujhe hosh rahe
muddaton uski KHwahish se chalte rahe hath aata nahin
gar sukun chahiye is lamha-e-maujud mein bhi
pahle tujhe banaya bana kar miTa diya
