chand par kyon main akeli jati
sath koi to saheli jati

aao mil-jul ke sahen hijr ki dhup
mujh se tanha nahin jheli jati

bolna mujh se na tum band karo
har taraf baat hai phaili jati

hum agar aql ko darban karte
hath se dil ki haweli jati

hae sandal ke darakhton ki ye rakh
jaan khushbu ki na le li jati

ban to sakta tha naya ek kamra
apne aangan ki chameli jati

pyas jati na agar sahil par
kyon samundar mein akeli jati

chand jhanke jo kitchen mein 'parwin'
mujh se roti nahin beli jati
