ab guzar jaega ye sal bhi lamhon ki tarah
betiyan aai hain sasural se pariyon ki tarah

us se chahen bhi to daman ko chhuda sakte nahin
zindagi hum pe musallat hai riwajon ki tarah

qahat-sali ki kare kaun bayan shan-e-warud
sab pareshan hain ujde hue kheton ki tarah

jo diya khun-e-riyazat to hue hain takhliq
sare sheron se mujhe pyar hai bachchon ki tarah

is ko tum apni wafa ka na karishma samjho
yun bhi mil jate hain kuchh log faqiron ki tarah

mar ke bhi mera tashakhkhus na koi chhin saka
ilm banta na gaya mere asason ki tarah

'jaan' phir kar ke kisi roz ye ud jaengi
betiyan bap ke aangan mein hain chidiyon ki tarah
