kahin log tanha kahin ghar akele
kahan tak main dekhun ye manzar akele

gali mein hawaon ki sargoshiyan hain
gharon mein magar sab sanobar akele

numaish hazaron nigahon ne dekhi
magar phul pahle se badh kar akele

ab ek tir bhi ho liya sath warna
parinda chala tha safar par akele

jo dekho to ek lahr mein ja rahe hain
jo socho to sare shanawar akele

teri yaad ki barf-bari ka mausam
sulagta raha dil ke andar akele

irada tha ji lunga tujh se bichhad kar
guzarta nahin ek december akele

zamane se 'qasir' khafa to nahin hain
ki dekhe gae hain wo aksar akele
