din viran shab bojhal likh
ghazlen cigarette botal likh

gumnamon ki nagri mein
shohrat ko tu pagal likh

sadiyon jaisa us ke bin
lamha lamha pal pal likh

dil-mausam mein main aur wo
naddi nale jal-thal likh

wadon ki barsaton mein
yaadon ki hai daldal likh

phail gaya hai raaton-raat
un aankhon ka kajal likh

gham apni jagir 'hanif'
ishq paraya makhmal likh
