har ek jism pe bas ek hi se gahne lage
hamein to log tumhaara hi rup pahne lage

bas ek lau si nazar aai thi phir us ke baad
bujhe charagh siyah paniyon pe bahne lage

use bhi hadisa kahiye ki khushk dariya par
padi jo dhup to patthar pighal ke bahne lage

ruton ne karwaten badlin to hum ne bhi ek bar
phir apne ghar ko sajaya aur us mein rahne lage

na jaane kyun mere ahbab mere bare mein
jo baat aam thi sargoshiyon mein kahne lage

jo qatra qatra piya hum ne zindagi ka zahr
to 'rind' ban ke har ek dil ka dard bahne lage
