gunj mere gambhir khayalon ki mujh se takraati hai
aankhen band karun ya kholun bijli kaunde jati hai

tanhai ke dasht se guzro to mumkin hai tum bhi suno
sannate ki chikh jo mere kanon ko pathraati hai

kal ek nim-shagufta jism ke qurb se mujh par tut padi
aadhi raat ko adh-khili kaliyon se jo khush-bu aati hai

sune gharon mein rahne wale kundani chehre kahte hain
sari sari raat akele-pan ki aag jalati hai

'sahba' sahab dariya ho to dariya jaisi baat karo
tez hawa se lahar to ek jauhad mein bhi aa jati hai
