main hun aur meri shairi tanha
chahiye mujh ko do ghadi tanha

chand pal ko mile hain log yahan
aakhirat mein hai aadmi tanha

zor chalta nahin hawaon par
ghumti hai gali gali tanha

ab mujhe jaane ki ijazat do
chikhti hogi khamoshi tanha

teri yaad aa ke gher leti hai
hoti hun gar main jab kabhi tanha

marna aasan laga 'sahar' us ko
katti kaise tirgi tanha
