teri KHwahish kisi imkan ki surat

tujhko chhua to der tak KHud ko hi DhunDta raha

abr se aur dhup se rishta hai ek sa mera

hum apne aap se bhi ham-suKHan na hote the

tu kisi subh si aangan mein utar aati hai

kisi safar kisi asbab se ilaqa nahin

tere ghayab ko maujud mein badalte hue

mere girya se na aazar uThane se hua

har ek saz ko sazindagan nahin darkar

qatra qatra chhat se hi risne lagi

aawazon mein bahte bahte

yun to mushaf bhi uThae gae qasMein bhi magar

main jagte mein kahin ban raha hun az-sar-e-nau

samajh paya nahin par sun raha hun

jab bachchon ko dekhta hun to sochta hun
