ab bhi darwaza roz khulta hai
rasta mera tak raha hai koi

mere ghar ke udas manzar par
koi shai ab bhi muskuraati hai

meri man ke safed aanchal ki
thandi thandi hawaen roti hain

fasla aur kitni tanhai
aaj katti nahin hain ye raaten

aasman mujh pe tanz karta hai
chand taron mein hoti hain baaten

ai watan tere murgh-zaron mein
mere bachpan ke khwab raqsan hain

mujh se chhut kar bhi wadiyan teri
kya usi tarah se ghazal-khwan hain
