apne bare mein soch lete hain
yani ab hum bahut akele hain

khauf aata hai bhid se jab bhi
ghar ki viraniyon se darte hain

mere mazi ki band mutthi mein
teri yaadon ke chand sikke hain

kya karen har bashar ki aankhon mein
be-yaqini ke gahre sae hain

baat karte hue ye lagta hai
khwab lafzon ki shakl umde hain
