lahu se uTh ke ghaTaon ke dil baraste hain

main uski baat ke lahje ka etibar karun

TaTolta hua kuchh jism o jaan tak pahuncha

zindagi ke sare mausam aa ke ruKHsat ho gae

aap bhi ret ka malbus pahan kar dekhen

mere andar ek dastak si kahin hoti rahi

na yaad aaya na bhula na saneha mujhko

alawa ek chubhan ke kya hai KHud se rabta mera

KHud mein utrungi to main bhi lapata ho jaungi

hum koi nadan nahin ki bachchon ki si baat karen

ye hausla bhi kisi roz kar ke dekhungi

thakan se chur hun lekin rawan-dawan hun main

tu aaya to dwar bhiDe the dip bujha tha aangan ka

wo ye kah kah ke jalata tha hamesha mujhko

ruTh jaega to mujhse aur kya le jaega
