bekal hai mukh nigah mein boson ki pyas hai
kuchh to bata tu kis se bichhad kar udas hai

taswir mein jhuka hai nadi par kadam ka ped
pani mein pairta hua but be-libas hai

teri qasam ki tujh ko bana kar mata-e-zist
ab koi aarzu hai na ab koi aas hai

khulti hai roz sham ko ek champai dhanak
ganw ke us makan pe jo dariya ke pas hai

kamre ki shelf par hai saji budh ki murti
gul-dan mein chuni hui jangal ki ghas hai

dekhun tujhe to ruh ka sahra sulag uthe
chahun tujhe to teri lagan mein mithas hai

jude ki qaus mein gundhe kuchh malti ke phul
sadi ki silwaton mein lawandar ki bas hai
