sans lete hue dar lagta hai
zahr-alud dhuan phaila hai

kis ne sahra mein meri aankhon ke
ek dariya ko rawan rakkha hai

koi aawaz na jumbish koi
mera hona bhi koi hona hai

baat kuchh bhi na karunga ab ke
ru-ba-ru us ke faqat rona hai

zakhm dhoe hain yahan par kis ne
sare dariya mein lahu phaila hai

itna gahra hai andhera mujh mein
panw rakhte hue dar lagta hai

shakhs hansta hai jo aaine mein
yaad padta hai kahin dekha hai

chat jae na mujhe dimak sa
gham jo sine se mere lipta hai

jaane kya khona hai ab bhi mujh ko
phir se kyun ji ko wahi khadsha hai
