wo hum se kyun alag tha kyun dukhi tha
hamare zehn mein jo aadmi tha

pata detin mera kya shahrahen
makan mera gali-andar-gali tha

hazaron main chhupe the mujh mein phir bhi
nazar mein aaine ke ek hi tha

hare patton se shabnam ki judai
yahi aaghaz-e-subh-e-tishnagi tha

ghurur-e-subh kya mujh ko dikhata
lahu ki sham mein main didani tha

andhere jhad kar daman se apne
utha to raushni hi raushni tha
