guzre nahin aur guzar gae hum
is bhid ka kaam kar gae hum

ye sahn gawah hai hamara
is ghar mein bhi dar-ba-dar gae hum

daryaft ko zakhm ki chale the
tarikh ki dhaar par gae hum

is baat pe ab ulajh rahe hain
baqi the to phir kidhar gae hum

taswir se bahar aae kuchh der
ghar bhar ko udas kar gae hum

warna ye zamin mit chali thi
bar-waqt idhar udhar gae hum

khali the aur is qadar the khali
bas ek nigah se bhar gae hum

the kaun-o-makan makan se bahar
bahar kisi shor par gae hum
