dhup ka bojh bhala main ne uthaya kab tha
main to tanha tha meri zat ka saya kab tha

itne manus hue gham se ki ab yaad nahin
waqt ne dard ka ambar lagaya kab tha

sham utri mere chehre pe to socha main ne
din meri zist ke aangan mein samaya kab tha

dard badhta hai to zakhmon se main karta hun sawal
sang main ne kisi wahshi pe uthaya kab tha

ab bhi hai subh meri aankh mein zakhmi zakhmi
kaun kahta hai ki main shab ka sataya kab tha
