main to nahin hun in ke jaisi ye to udna jaane hain
ye jo sab khush-rang parinde pinjre ke diwane hain

baith zara aaram se dil ki dor mujhe suljhane de
uljhi uljhi dhadkan ke kamzor se tane bane hain

apni khak se dur sahi par sondhi hai hijrat ki dhul
kahne do kahne walo ko dur ke dhol suhane hain

sirf ghadi ki tik-tik sunna maut se pahle maut hai yar
waqt se aage badh kar dekho aage nae zamane hain

khud ko gale se lagaya dekha man aangan barsat ke baad
dhup si aankhen damak rahi hain bhige bhige shane hain

kis ko pata hai kitna waqt lagega in ko bharne mein
dard to badhta hi jata hai lekin zakhm purane hain

zist ki train mein apne apne phone uthae gum-sum se
jaane pahchane raston par log sabhi anjaane hain

tere dar par 'sima' 'naqwi' kyon aate hain roz ye sang
ek tu hi diwani hai ya baqi sab diwane hain
