kaisa tara tuta mujh mein
jhank rahi hai duniya mujh mein

koi purana shahr hai jis ka
khulta hai darwaza mujh mein

diya jala ke chhod gaya hai
koi apna saya mujh mein

band hui jati hain aankhen
kaisa manzar jaga mujh mein

aawazen deta hai mujh ko
koi 'mir' ke jaisa mujh mein

koi mujh ko dhundhne wala
bhul gaya hai rasta mujh mein

khali thi gul-dan mein tahni
khila hua tha shoala mujh mein

baras rahi thi barish bahar
aur wo bhig raha tha mujh mein

udta rahta hai raaton ko
'qaisar' koi parinda mujh mein
