kaise hoti hai shab ki sahar dekhte
kash hum bhi kabhi jag kar dekhte

khwab kaise utarta hai ehsas mein
tere shane pe rakh ke ye sar dekhte

ek ummid thi muntazir umr bhar
kash tum bhi kabhi laut kar dekhte

barf ki jhini chadar tale jhil thi
chhu ke mujh ko kabhi tum agar dekhte

ungliyan un ki letin na sannyas to
meri zulfon se bhi khel kar dekhte

ek parwaz mein gir na jate agar
tere man ka gagan mere par dekhte

band kamron ne kholi nahin sanklen
warna sajde mein baithi 'sahar' dekhte
