chubhta agarche paon mein kanta chala gaya
lekin safar tawil tha chalta chala gaya

wo bhi kahin pe bhid mein mujh se bichhad gai
ukta ke main bhi chhod ke duniya chala gaya

rukhsat hua to aankh mein aansu talak na the
hansta hua wo hath hilata chala gaya

muddat ke baad samna ek dost se hua
kuchh der thahra mujh ko bhi dekha chala gaya

khalis khuda ke waste hoti koi namaz
zaea hamara aaj bhi sajda chala gaya

hum sochte hain baith ke khalwat mein jab kabhi
'shahid' hamare aage se kya kya chala gaya
