mere aur apne darmiyan us ne
kitna phaila diya dhuan us ne

khud bulati thi manzil-e-maqsud
tai na kin apni duriyan us ne

jin se pahchan thi kabhi us ki
kho diye hain wo sab nishan us ne

jhut bola nahin gaya us se
kar liya khud ko be-zaban us ne

be-khabar hai wo mausamon se 'shajar'
band kar li thin khidkiyan us ne
