kisi ko rashk aae kyun na qismat par hamari ab

Khaali hua gilas nasha sar mein aa gaya

subu uThaun to pine ke bich khulti hai

so jati hai basti to makan pichhli gali mein

jang se jangal bana jangal se main nikla nahin

aise kuchh din bhi the jo humse guzare na gae

pasand aate nahin sidhe-sadhe log use

ayyam ke ghubar se nikla to der tak

yakjai ka tilism raha tari TuT kar

sahar ki gunj se aawaza-e-jamal hua

ki jaise KHud se mulaqat ho nahin pati

rakh liye rauzan-e-zindan pe parinde sare

darwaze the kuchh aur bhi darwaze ke pichhe

maine bachpan ki KHushbu-e-nazuk

kuchh mazahir hain jo nagar mein hamein
