hamari aql par tale pade hain
khandar hai zehn aur jale pade hain

ba-zahir saf aate hain nazar dil
magar andar se ye kale pade hain

kabhi dekho palat kar aastin ko
kai hi sanp hum pale pade hain

mayassar kaise ho do waqt roti
ki jab ek waqt ke lale pade hain

karen khud hi khizaon ke hawale
chaman ke aise rakhwale pade hain

bahut roya juda ho kar wo shayad
tabhi to aankh mein haale pade hain

dahakte raste par chal pade the
abhi tak panw mein chhaale pade hain

luta sakte hain ulfat mein wo jaanen
bahut ai 'sad' matwale pade hain
