us ko kisi ke waste be-tab dekhte
hum bhi kabhi ye manzar-e-nayab dekhte

sahil ki ret ne hamein wapas bula liya
warna zarur halqa-e-girdab dekhte

barish ka lutf band makanon mein kuchh nahin
bahar nikalte ghar se to sailab dekhte

aati kisi ko ras shahadat 'husain' ki
duniya mein hum kisi ko to sairab dekhte

raaton ko jagne ke siwa aur kya kiya
aankhen agar mili thin koi khwab dekhte
