hai ghalat-fahmi hawa ki us se dar jata hun main
hausla ban kar charaghon mein utar jata hun main

nind ki aaghosh mein thak kar girun main jab kabhi
khwab ji uthte hain mere aur mar jata hun main

ghar makinon se bana karta hai patthar se nahin
bas isi ummid par har roz ghar jata hun main

main ne tujh se kya kabhi puchha kidhar jati hai tu
ai shab-e-awara tujh ko kya kidhar jata hun main

mere jaane par na ho ghar ki udasi yun malul
tu agar ghabra gai hai to thahar jata hun main
