naqsh aankhon mein utara jaega
phir safar mein din guzara jaega

pahle dakhil hoga shab ke shahr mein
phir sawere ko pukara jaega

jab umiden khatm sab ho jaengi
waqt phir kaise guzara jaega

haar kirnon ka bana kar jhil ke
aaine mein din sanwara jaega

dekh le gar ek nazar suraj ise
kohra ye be-maut mara jaega

tham kar rakh tinka warna ek din
hath se ye bhi sahaara jaega

jab bhatak jaega sahra mein bahut
tab samundar ko pukara jaega

bebasi mein dubi nazron se falak
ab qafas se bas nihaara jaega
