barha bas mujhe yun lagta hai
hai koi jo mujhe hi takta hai

khwab raaton mein khwab mein aa kar
khwab ki hi tarah bikharta hai

raushnai nigal gaya tha jo
saya wo aankhon mein khatakta hai

din ke sannate mein qarib aa kar
ramz peshani par tahalta hai

ai zamin pyasi hi rahegi tu
aasman se dhuan barasta hai

koi bu khak kar gai shayad
dekh phulon ko ji machalta hai

gham-talab kab talak rahe koi
ab lahu aankhon se tapakta hai
