aankhon mein mauj mauj koi sochne laga
pani mein be-sabaat nagar dubne laga

ek shakh-e-rang hat se mausam ke chhut gai
khali badan ragon mein koi lotne laga

hai apne darmiyan koi fasl-e-narawa
dahliz pe khada mein kise sochne laga

wo rauzan-e-khayal, sada, saegi saman
phir harf zahr zahr zaban gholne laga

main ek barg-e-khushk kabhi ka asir-e-gard
phir kaun dal dal mujhe tankne laga

main bolta raha to kisi ne nahin suna
main chup hua to sara nagar gunjne laga
