kabhi jo nur ka mazhar raha hai
wo kin tarikiyon mein mar raha hai

kisi suraj ka tukda tod laen
zamin ka jism thanda pad raha hai

kahin aasar dhunden zindagi ke
kabhi ye chand mera ghar raha hai

mata-e-asman bhi lut na jae
sitare par sitara gir raha hai

hawa mein lafz likkhe ja rahe hain
koi zakhmi parinda ud raha hai
