koi hamdam nahin duniya mein lekin

sab ek charagh ke parwane hona chahte hain

wo sari baaten main ahbab hi se kahta hun

kabhi mauj-e-KHwab mein kho gaya kabhi thak ke ret pe so gaya

parind peD se parwaz karte jate hain

phulon ki tazgi hi nahin dekhne ki chiz

takallufat ki nazmon ka silsila hai siwa

jam gai dhul mulaqat ke aainon par

chashm-e-inkar mein iqrar bhi ho sakta tha

suKHan-wari ka bahana banata rahta hun

parind kyun meri shaKHon se KHauf khate hain

chaman wahi ki jahan par labon ke phul khilen

dekhne ke liye sara aalam bhi kam

ye taeron ki qataren kidhar ko jati hain

jise paDhte to yaad aata tha tera phul sa chehra
