diwar pe rakkha hua mitti ka diya main
sab kuchh kaha aur raat se kuchh bhi na kaha main

kuchh aur bhi maskan the mere dil ke alawa
lagta hai kahin aur bhi mismar hua main

is dukh ko to main thik bata bhi nahin pata
main khud ko mayassar tha magar mil na saka main

jaga hun magar khwab ki dahshat nahin jati
kya dekhta hun yar tujhe bhul gaya main

suraj ke ufuq hote hain manzil nahin hoti
so dhalta raha jalta raha chalta raha main

ek ishq-qabila meri mitti mein chhupa tha
ek shakhs tha lekin koi ek shakhs na tha main

ek ghunt ki waqat mere pindar se kam thi
is baat se waqif mera mashkiza hai ya main

ek jism mein rahte hue hum dur bahut the
aankhen na khulin mujh pe na aankhon pe khula main

kuchh aur bhi darkar tha sab kuchh ke alawa
kya hoga jise dhundta tha tere siwa main
