jab apni aankhon se ashkon ka qafila nikla
kinare tute to dariya ka hausla nikla

wo meri bazm mein aae raqib ke hamrah
chalo ki milne ka koi to silsila nikla

milen na aaj bhi bachchon ko rotiyan shayad
wo ghar se subh yahi sochta hua nikla

wo ek waraq ki mera nam jis pe likkha tha
teri kitab mein wo kyon mita mita nikla

main apne chehre pe khushiyan saja to laya magar
har ek shakhs mere gham se aashna nikla

main apna haal sunane laga jise 'rahi'
to us ka dard mere dard se siwa nikla
