aisi hi zamin bana raha tha
par aur kahin bana raha tha

us but ne jahan banaya tha but
main barson wahin bana raha tha

main raat bana raha tha lekin
tarik nahin bana raha tha

suraj to bana raha tha rukhsar
mahtab jabin bana raha tha

un aankhon ko chumta hawa mein
kuchh aur hasin bana raha tha

afsos wo ban nahin saka jo
main apne tain bana raha tha

mara gaya bad-gumaniyan mein
bechaara yaqin bana raha tha
