wahi sab se badi hoti
agar teri kami hoti

bhalai gar bhali hoti
sadi ye kya sadi hoti

musafir wo palat aata
agar aawaz di hoti

jharoke gar khule hote
yahan bhi raushni hoti

kinara dhundh hi leti
na kashti gar phansi hoti

wo aansu ponchhne aaya
wagarna yan nadi hoti

zara sa waqt ko roke
kahin aisi ghadi hoti

jahan insan barabar ho
koi aisi gali hoti

'tabassum' ek kahani thi
agar tum ne padhi hoti
