main tere pas hun mujhse ye kah raha koi hai

main tere pas hun mujh se ye kah raha koi hai
tamam shab meri aankhon mein jagta koi hai
diya umid ka bujhta hai jalti aankhon mein
kisi ke lab pe mere waste dua koi hai


purani baaton ki yaaden bhikariyon ki tarah
sawal karti hain aiwan-e-dil pe kya koi hai
guman guzarta hai hote hue na hone ka
teri nigah mein jadu magar naya koi hai


ye khwab ka hai safar main hun khwab-ru ki tarah
na ibtida hi thi kuchh aur na intiha koi hai
na wo faza na wo chashme na wadiyan na wo log
magar ye wahm meri rah dekhta koi hai


shikasta-dil tu use chhod kar na ja 'ghafil'
ki tere saz mein muzmar abhi sada koi hai
