khoton ko bhi khara batana padta hai
duniya ka dastur nibhana padta hai

asar waqt ka chehre pe dikhlane ko
aaine ko aage aana padta hai

apni aankhen maren na bhuki is khatir
kuchh chehron ko roz kamana padta hai

jism-nagar ke par jo kachchi basti hai
is ke aage mera thikana padta hai

main mera main ne mujh se ki changul se
khud ko aksar khinch ke lana padta hai

ek chehre ko chhune ki khatir 'fani'
yaadon ka ambar lagana padta hai
