koi atka hua hai pal shayad
waqt mein pad gaya hai bal shayad

lab pe aai meri ghazal shayad
wo akele hain aaj-kal shayad

dil agar hai to dard bhi hoga
is ka koi nahin hai hal shayad

jaante hain sawab-e-rahm-o-karam
un se hota nahin amal shayad

aa rahi hai jo chap qadmon ki
khil rahe hain kahin kanwal shayad

rakh ko bhi kured kar dekho
abhi jalta ho koi pal shayad

chand dube to chand hi nikle
aap ke pas hoga hal shayad
