sanson ki tuti sargam mein ek mitha swar yaad raha
yun to sab kuchh bhul gaya main par tera ghar yaad raha

yun bhi koi milna hai jo milne ki ghadiyon mein bhi
milne se pahle is zalim duniya ka dar yaad raha

warna main bhi jhuk hi jata zulm ki andhi chaukhat par
achchha raha ki mujh ko apne shair ka sar yaad raha

honton se jo baat hui wo nil-gagan tak ja pahunchi
aankhon ne jo likkha dil par akhshar akhshar yaad raha

jis ke karan tyag tapasya aur tap ko wanwas mila
soch raha hun ek rani ko kyun aisa war yaad raha
