kabhi nazuk kabhi behad kada hai
wo 'tughlaq' samne ban kar khada hai

kharashen pad gai hain aasman par
zamin se aaj shayad wo lada hai

wo ab be-kar shai hai apne ghar ki
kabhi andar kabhi bahar pada hai

zamana sath tha baadal mein us ke
chamakti dhup mein tanha khada hai

khizan ka rang hai kaisa suhana
na patta ped se koi jhada hai

bahut ilzam ki barish hui thi
na thahri bund wo chikna ghada hai

muqaddar khwab sae ka hai chamka
mere qad se bhi 'jafar' wo bada hai
