ye aansu kis liye rukta nahin hai
samundar to kahin pyasa nahin hai

kahin pathra na jaen us ki aankhen
bichhad kar mujh se wo roya nahin hai

qayamat dil pe na guzre to kahna
tumhaara dil abhi tuta nahin hai

salamat hain sabhi kamron ke shishe
koi patthar abhi aaya nahin hai

nikal jao kahin tum ai parindo
hawa ne rasta roka nahin hai

kinara hun main ek sukhi nadi ka
koi dariya mujhe samjha nahin hai

adab se is liye hai dur 'rahi'
buzurgon mein abhi baitha nahin hai
