aawazon ke jal bichhae jate hain
khone wale ab kya pae jate hain

achchhe achchhe logon ki kya puchhte ho
yaad kiye jate hain bhulae jate hain

hans hans kar jo phul khilae the tum ne
is mausam mein sab murjhae jate hain

suraj jaise jaise dhalta jata hai
us ki diwaron tak sae jate hain

rishton par ek aisa waqt bhi aata hai
suljha suljha kar uljhae jate hain

phir us ne rahon mein phul bichhae hain
hum jaise phir thokar khae jate hain

apne daman par hain 'shakil' apne aansu
log magar ehsan jatae jate hain
