teri KHwahish kisi imkan ki surat

hum apne aap se bhi ham-suKHan na hote the

abr se aur dhup se rishta hai ek sa mera

kisi safar kisi asbab se ilaqa nahin

qatra qatra chhat se hi risne lagi

yun to mushaf bhi uThae gae qasMein bhi magar

samajh paya nahin par sun raha hun

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

tu kisi subh si aangan mein utar aati hai

aawazon mein bahte bahte

thoDi si barish hoti hai

kiwaD khulne se pahle hi din nikal aaya

jab bachchon ko dekhta hun to sochta hun

mere girya se na aazar uThane se hua

har ek saz ko sazindagan nahin darkar
