dard ki khushbu se ye mahka raha
jab kabhi kamre mein main tanha raha

umr ki naddi chadhi, utri, gai
jism ka sahra magar jalta raha

din ko tapti filon ki ret par
main to abraq ki tarah bikhra raha

raat bhar ek jism ki diwar se
main calender ki tarah chipka raha

shab palang par hanpte sae rahe
khwab darwaze khada takta raha

yaad ki dibbi mein kyun rakkho mujhe
main jali tili hun, mujh mein kya raha
