kuza-gar ke ghar ummiden aai hain
mitti ke putle mein sansen aai hain

ghabra kar bistar se uth baitha hun main
nind mein phir khwabon ki lashen aai hain

kis ne dastak di hai meri palkon par
aankhon ki dahliz pe yaaden aai hain

khwab mein us ko rote dekh liya tha bas
man mein jaane kya kya baaten aai hain

aankhen surkh dikhin to main ne puchh liya
us ka wahi bahana aankhen aai hain

ek takiye pe main aur meri tanhai
aisi jaane kitni raaten aai hain

rishton ka aaina kab ka tut chuka
'mit' ke hisse kewal kirchen aai hain
