main jab tawahhumat se yaksar guzar gaya
apni hi shakl dekh ke kyon aaj dar gaya

kal tak jo shor karte the khamosh ho gae
shayad ki shahr mein koi diwana mar gaya

be-aks aaina to kisi kaam ka na tha
pathraw kyon hua ki wo tuta bikhar gaya

rahon ne aankhen mund lin anjaane khauf se
ek hadse ko sath liye wo jidhar gaya

hairan hun ki dur se aaya tha mere sath
apni kahani kah ke na jaane kidhar gaya
