khud ko jis ke liye bhulati hun
kya use bhi main yaad aati hun

us ka chehra kitab jaisa hai
roz padhti hun muskuraati hun

waise aankhen udas rahti hain
dekh kar us ko jagmagati hun

jaanti hun hawa mita degi
main gharaunde magar banati hun

ghar ki diwar hai sakhi meri
main usi se gapen ladati hun

aap akhbar dekhiye tab tak
main abhi chae le kar aati hun

samne apne aaina rakh kar
roz apni hansi udati hun

wo mera e'tibar hai 'rakhshan'
jis se aksar fareb khati hun
