khayal usi ki taraf bar bar jata hai
mere safar ki thakan kaun utar jata hai

ye us ka apna tariqa hai dan karne ka
wo jis se shart lagata hai haar jata hai

ye khel meri samajh mein kabhi nahin aaya
main jit jata hun bazi wo mar jata hai

main apni nind dawaon se qarz leta hun
ye qarz khwab mein koi utar jata hai

nasha bhi hota hai halka sa zahar mein shamil
wo jab bhi milta hai ek dank mar jata hai

main sab ke waste karta hun kuchh na kuchh 'nazmi'
jahan jahan bhi mera ikhtiyar jata hai
