har shab ek hi khwab se uljha rahta hun
main dariya hun phir bhi pyasa rahta hun

din ki fasl kate to sham dhale aksar
khwabon ki diwar se chipka rahta hun

hawa ki zad pe main ek aisa suraj hun
sham se hi raste pe rakkha rahta hun

chalte chalte dariya jab thak jate hain
yaad ke gahre sagar mein duba rahta hun

soch ki galiyon mein aawara phirta hua
ghar ke darwaze par tanha rahta hun

shayad koi mujhe jagane aa jae
is khwahish mein pahron soya rahta hun

raushniyon ka ghar bhi nahin milta 'makhdum'
suraj ka saya hun bhaga rahta hun
