mausamon ki tarah badla main ki tu
kaun kis ko bhul baitha main ki tu

samne dariya magar pabandiyan
ek ek qatre ko tarsa main ki tu

pakai-e-daman ke afsane na kah
kaun hai har samt ruswa main ki tu

justuju kis ko nai duniya ki thi
dasht mein shoalon ke bhatka main ki tu

zindagi ke sakht-o-sangin mod par
kaun tha kis ka sahaara main ki tu

jis mein donon ki bhalai thi nihan
aise har nukte ko samjha main ki tu

jagti aankhon se 'bismil' aaj-kal
dekhta hai kaun sapna main ki tu
