baDa kumba hai chhoTi degchi hai

bada kumba hai chhoti degchi hai
aur us par bhuk munh khole khadi hai
jidhar tu ho udhar hi dekhti hai
hamari aankh bhi suraj-mukhi hai


mere maula abhi suraj na nikle
koi tahrir shabnam likh rahi hai
koi nuskha na hoga kargar ab
mohabbat kaam apna kar chuki hai


'inayat par kisi ki ji rahe hain
hamari zindagi kya zindagi hai
meri dil-jui ki khatir kisi ne
dahakti aag daman mein rakhi hai


zamin mein bhi utar jaega suraj
abhi to barf ki chadar hati hai
faqat khushbu nahin titli ki chahat
wo phulon ka lahu bhi chatti hai


nazar aata nahin kuchh bhi kisi ko
bazahir raushni hi raushni hai
