kya mod 'ajab aaya ye rishton ke safar mein
main khud se juda ho gaya is rahguzar mein

main ne hi ubhaare hain khutut us ke badan ke
ek nuqta-e-mauhum hun main jis ki nazar mein

baitha pas-e-diwar main ye soch raha hun
kab rauzan-e-diwar badal jata hai dar mein

gum kasrat-e-afrad mein ho jate hain chehre
insan ki pahchan ho kis tarh nagar mein

aai na sahaare ko ek aawaz-e-shanasa
main dub gaya apni sadaon ke bhanwar mein

masrur hun yun tark-e-jahan kar ke main 'kaifi'
duniya hi simat aai hai goya mere ghar mein
