rit par jitne bhi nawishte hain
apne mahaul ke mujalle hain

kaun jaane kahan dafine hain
apne to pas sirf naqshe hain

suraten chhin le gaya koi
is baras aaine akele hain

khwab, khushbu, khayal, aur khadshe
ek diwar sau dariche hain

dosti ishq aur wafadari
sakht jaan mein bhi narm goshe hain

padh sako to kabhi padho un ko
shakh-dar-shakh bhi sahife hain

jugnuon ke paron se likkhe hue
jangalon mein kai jaride hain
