dard sine mein kahin chikh raha ho jaise
teri jaanib se koi tir chala ho jaise

mere ashkon ke samundar mein koi taj-mahal
dhire dhire se kahin dub raha ho jaise

umr guzri magar ehsas yahi rahta hai
wo abhi uth ke mere ghar se gaya ho jaise

tere har nashtari jumle bhi lage hain pyare
tere dushnam ki tasir juda ho jaise

shama ki lau ne ab sar ko jhukaya aisa
jalte rahna bhi mera meri khata ho jaise
