hath chhuTen bhi to rishte nahin chhoDa karte

sahma sahma Dara sa rahta hai

ye roTiyan hain ye sikke hain aur daere hain

der se gunjte hain sannaTe

ruke ruke se qadam ruk ke bar bar chale

aankhon ke pochhne se laga aag ka pata

chand ummiden nichoDi thin to aahen Tapkin

tumhaare KHwab se har shab lipaT ke sote hain

zaKHm kahte hain dil ka gahna hai

wo ek din ek ajnabi ko

chulhe nahin jalae ki basti hi jal gai

yun bhi ek bar to hota ki samundar bahta

aankhon se aansuon ke marasim purane hain

aadatan tumne kar diye wade

aaina dekh kar tasalli hui
