kisi se hath kisi se nazar milate hue
main bujh rahi hun rawa-dariyan nibhate hue

kisi ko mere dukhon ki khabar bhi kaise ho
ki main har ek se milti hun muskuraate hue

ajib khauf hai andar ki khamushi ka mujhe
ki raston se guzarti hun gungunate hue

kahan tak aur main simtun ki umr bit gai
dil o nazar ke taqazon se munh chhupate hue

nahin malal ki main raegan hui hun 'nur'
badan ki khak se diwar-o-dar banate hue
