mere bachche tera bachpan to maine bech Dala

rishton ka bojh Dhona dil dil mein kuDhte rahna

faisla the waqt ka phir be-asar kaise hue

isi umid pe jalti hain dasht dasht aanhken

kiya na tark-e-marasim pe ehtijaj usne

jise main chhu nahin sakta dikhai kyun wo deta hai

apne hone ka kuchh ehsas na hone se hua

na socho tark-e-talluq ke moD par ruk kar

the uske sath zawal-e-safar ke sab manzar

na TuT kar itna hum ko chaho ki ro paDen hum

azabon se Tapakti ye chhaten barson chalengi

KHatm hone de mere sath hi apna bhi wajud

main sang-e-rah nahin jo uTha kar tu phenk de

jo KHas-e-badan tha jala bahut kai nikhaton ki talash mein

hisar-e-gosh-e-samaat ki dastaras mein kahan
