kami hai kaun si ghar mein dikhane lag gae hain
charagh aur andhera badhane lag gae hain

ye e'timad bhi mera diya hua hai tujhe
jo mere mashware be-kar jaane lag gae hain

main itna wada-faramosh bhi nahin hun ki aap
mere libas pe girhen lagane lag gae hain

wo pahle tanha khazane ke khwab dekhta tha
ab apne hath bhi naqshe purane lag gae hain

faza badal gai andar se hum parindon ki
jo bol tak nahin sakte the gane lag gae hain

kahin hamara talatum thame to faisla ho
hum apni mauj mein kya kya bahane lag gae hain

nahin baid ki jangal mein sham pad jae
hum ek ped ko rasta batane lag gae hain
