kahne wale kahte hain
dasht mein pagal rahte hain

chand bhi sun ke jalta hai
chand se chehre hote hain

tera hansna dekhen to
mausam thahra karte hain

zakhm lage hain phulon se
jin ko pani dete hain

aankhen meri sasti hain
aansu tere mahnge hain

us ke shahr ki barish mein
phul baraste rahte hain

ek nazar wo dekhen to
hum aankhen padh lete hain

chidiya tote mor aur wo
mujh ko apne lagte hain

un pe likkhe sher 'iqra'
kuchh aur bhi achchhe hote hain
