meri hatheli mein likkha hua dikhai de

daman-e-arzu ke kinare sameTte

jina hai KHub auron ki KHatir jiya karo

hamari jagti aankhon mein KHwab sa kya tha

kanTe hon ya phul akele chunna hoga

fusun-zada hain hawaen manzar tamam mashur chup paDe hain

kis ne kaha kisi ka kaha tum kiya karo

badan pe zaKHm sajae lahu labaada kiya

nazar aata hai wo jaisa nahin hai

jaane kya kuchh hai aaj hone ko

deta tha jo saya wo shajar kaT raha hai

aisa hone nahin deta tha magar hone ko hai

sham se hum ta sahar chalte rahe

zinda hona aur na jina tum hi kaho kya mumkin hai

koi aahaT koi sargoshi sada kuchh bhi nahin
