hamrah mere koi musafir na chala tha
dhoka mujhe khud apni hi aahat se hua tha

masdud hui jis ki har ek rah-e-sarasar
is saf mein mujhe la ke khada kis ne kiya tha

jumbish hi se honton ki jo kuchh samjho to samjho
is gung-mahal mein to bas itna hi rawa tha

tamir hue ghar to gae jaane kahan wo
jin khana-ba-doshon ka yahan khema laga tha

dhundlae khad-o-khal gar us ke to ajab kya
dekhe hue yun bhi use yug bit gaya tha

shab shoala-ba-daman to sahar sokhta-saman
do rup badalta tha ajab wo bhi diya tha
