aaina aaina tairta koi aks

faza mein hath to uTThe the ek sath kai

wo raat nind ki dahliz par tamam hui

hum zamin ki taraf jab aae the

mujh mein KHud meri adam-maujudgi shamil rahi

wo baat thi to kai dusre sabab bhi the

is gali se us gali tak dauDta rahta hun main

kis ke pairon ke naqsh hain mujh mein

baDi chiz hai ye supurdagi ka mahin pal

pani tha magar apne hi dariya se juda tha

tere falak hi se TuTne wali raushni ke hain aks sare

zara se rizq mein barkat bhi kitni hoti thi

kuchh badan ki zaban kahti thi

kisi ek zaKHm ke lab khul gae the

apne sukhe hue gul-dan ka gham hai mujhko
