kahin aankhen kahin bazu kahin se sar nikal aae
andhera phailte hi har taraf se dar nikal aae

hue hain khokhle hum log hijrat mein so darte hain
khala ye ruh ka aisa na ho bahar nikal aae

ye lagta hai ki patton pe rakhi thin muntazir aankhen
mere aate hi kitne phul shakhon par nikal aae

na jaane khol de kab koi lamha yaad ki gathri
kisi kone se mazi ka hasin manzar nikal aae

mere honton pe bikhra ye tabassum dhaal hai meri
ki jaane kab udasi ka kahin khanjar nikal aae

gire hain jitne aansu daman-e-sahra mein sadiyon se
sulagti ret bhi andar se shayad tar nikal aae
