sunsan raston pe teri yaad ne kaha
haalat ka fareb bhi kitna hasin tha

ab ke bhi dard-mand bahaaron ne ja-ba-ja
phulon ki takhtiyon pe tera nam likh diya

raat ek ajnabi ki tarah ghumti rahi
din ek falsafi ki tarah sochta raha

har tirgi ne mujh se ujalon ki baat ki
har zahar ittifaq se tiryak bin gaya

chamka rahi hai gham ke andheron ko dur tak
kirnon ki sidhiyon se utarti hui sada

yun dal ke aas pas hai khwabon ki raushni
jaise kisi gali mein daricha ho nim wa

'jami' jo zindagi se ziyaada aziz the
in ko bhi zindagi ki tarah bhulna pada
