akasr tanhai se mil kar roe hain
hum ne apne ashk aag se dhoe hain

bahut nibhai len-den ki rasmen bhi
kuchh aansu pae hain kuchh gham khoe hain

jab bhi barish ne mitti se munh moda
jalte suraj ne zarraat bhigoe hain

khabar jahan milti hai apne hone ki
hum us manzil par bhi khoe khoe hain

jab khud ko pana hi mushkil kaam hua
kyun kachche dhage mein phul piroe hain

baal-o-par pate hi ude hawaon mein
hum ne jo nazdik ke rishte dhoe hain

tum ko kya malum meri tanhai ne
lafzon mein apne jazbaat samoe hain

hum kya jaanen khwabon ki narmi kya hai
hum kab khushbu ki banhon mein soe hain

baha na le jae un ko barish 'usha'
chattanon par khwab wafa ke boe hain
