agar yaqin na rakhte guman to rakhte
hum apne hone ka koi nishan to rakhte

tamam din jo kadi dhup mein sulagte hain
ye ped sar pe koi saeban to rakhte

hamari baat samajh mein to un ki aa jati
hum apne sath koi tarjuman to rakhte

hamein safar ka khasara pasand tha warna
musafirat ki thakan sar pe tan to rakhte

mushahidat ka dar laziman khula hota
hum apni aankh su-e-shama-dan to rakhte

jila ke baith gae daman-e-sahar 'nasik'
sitare tut rahe the to dhyan to rakhte
