dariya tha mauj gham thi safina koi na tha
tarik raste the ujala koi na tha

phir bhi tumhaare shahr ne rakkha mera khayal
haalanki mera chahne wala koi na tha

palkon pe sab ki bojh hai ek ehtiyat ka
kal raat mere ganw mein soya koi na tha

sab log chal rahe the sadak par mila ke hath
dekha jo ghaur se to kisi ka koi na tha

mayus kar diya tha kisi ke fareb ne
bujhti hui nigah mein chehra koi na tha

andar se ho chuke the bahut muzmahil se log
bahar se dekhne ko to tuta koi na tha

dastak hui thi pahle si mere makan mein
bahar nikal ke aaj bhi dekha koi na tha
