chalo mana ki phurtile nahin the
magar itne bhi hum dhile nahin the

khayalon mein saja lete the un ko
hamare shauq kharchile nahin the

maza manzil ko pa kar bhi na aaya
safar mein ret ke tile nahin the

haweli mein sabhi rahte the mil kar
tab itne rishte zahrile nahin the

kabhi aate the khat un ke bhi 'kalkal'
wo pahle itne sharmile nahin the
