masala KHatm hua chahta hai

kahani mein chhoTa sa kirdar hai

na koi KHwab kamaya na aankh Khaali hui

kitne aKHbar-faroshon ko sahafi likkha

koi bhi dar se zinda nahin utarta hai

ab band jo is abr-e-guhar-bar ko lag jae

safar se lauT jaana chahta hai

thoDa sa mahaul banana hota hai

dilon ke mabain shak ki diwar ho rahi hai

wafadaron pe aafat aa rahi hai

sab ke hote hue lagta hai ki ghar Khaali hai

kisi ka sath miyan ji sada nahin raha hai

jhuT sachchai ka hissa ho gaya

chahat ki lau ko maddham kar deta hai

tum shujaat ke kahan qisse sunane lag gae
