lamhon ka pathraw hai mujh par sadiyon ki yalghaar
main ghar jalta chhod aaya hun dariya ke us par

kis ki ruh taaqub mein hai sae ke manind
aati hai nazdik se aksar khushbu ki jhankar

tere samne baitha hun aaankhon mein ashk liye
mere tere bich ho jaise shishe ki diwar

mere bahar utni hi marbut hai be-rabti
mere andar ki duniya hai jitni pur-asrar

band aaankhon mein kanp rahe hain jugnu jugnu khwab
sar par jhul rahi hai kaisi nadida talwar
