tum meri mazbut si diwar ho
mere kamzor palon ki jild si

tabhi har mausam se be-khauf bachaya hai use
jild sakht aur wahi rangin si rahe

pichhle baras yaad hai
kitni umas thi

hum galne se lage the aansuon se ya badle
mausam se

shayad donon se
jaanti hun jild ki fitrat

kasi bandhi pukhta kone rundne ke baad
bhi mazbut si

lekin ab safhe galne lage
be-waqt mausam se

sambhaal sako to mudai kar lo phir se
aksar purani jild nae safhon mein be-maani be-raunaq si malum hoti hai

safhe lugdi se gal jae kahin
