Kagaz pe humne zindagi likh di
ashkon se seench har khushi likh di
dard jab humne ubhara lafzon pe
logon ne kaha wah kya ghazal likh di…
~
bhujhi shamaa bhi jal sakti hai
toofaan se kashti bhi nikal sakti hai
hoke maayoos yoon na apne iraade badal
teri kismat kabhi bhi badal sakti hai…
~
dikhaai detaa agar jahaan mein
kyon dhoondte usko aasmaan mein
kitaab tumne nayi utthaa li
rukey thay hum kal ki daastaan mein…
