ajib KHwahish hai shahr walon se chhup chhupa kar kitab likkhun

ab ye baat mani hai

har zarra-e-ummid se KHushbu nikal aae

har jaanib virani bhi ho sakti hai

dil ki manzil us taraf hai ghar ka rasta is taraf

meri aawaz sunte ho

udas sham ki ek nazm

samajh mein kuchh nahin aata

hawa ko aawara kahne walo

hijr ke par bhig jaen

us shahr mein kitne chehre the kuchh yaad nahin sab bhul gae

kisi harf mein kisi bab mein nahin aaega

titliyan jugnu sabhi honge magar dekhega kaun

ye aarzu thi ki hum uske sath sath chalen

band hoti kitabon mein uDti hui titliyan Dal din
