aa gai dhup meri chhanw ke pichhe pichhe
tishnagi jaise ho sahraon ke pichhe pichhe

naqsh bante gae ek panw se aage aage
naqsh mitte gae ek panw ke pichhe pichhe

tum ne dil-nagri ko ujda hua ganw jaana
warna ek shahr tha is ganw ke pichhe pichhe

nind barbaad hai khunab hain aankhen phir to
gar chalun qafiya-paimaon ke pichhe pichhe

aql har khwab ki tabir ke pichhe bhage
dil azal hi se hai aashaon ke pichhe pichhe

an-sune ek bulawe ne ujade aangan
barkaten uth gain sab maon ke pichhe pichhe

waswase rok ke baithe hain hamara rasta
hadse hain ki lage panw ke pichhe pichhe

ho ke rahna hai kisi roz use bhi raushan
wo jo ek bhed hai rekhaon ke pichhe pichhe

ahl-e-dil dhund koi aise chalega kab tak
apni be-sud tamannaon ke pichhe pichhe

apne badhte hue gustakh qadam rok 'raza'
ghaus o abdal chale maon ke pichhe pichhe
