maut se aage soch ke aana phir ji lena
chhoti chhoti baaton mein dilchaspi lena

narm nazar se chhuna manzar ki sakhti ko
tund hawa se chehre ki shadabi lena

jazbon ke do ghunt aqidon ke do luqme
aage soch ka sahra hai kuchh kha pi lena

mahnge saste dam hazaron nam ye jiwan
soch samajh kar chiz koi achchhi si lena

aawazon ke shahr se baba kya milna hai
apne apne hisse ki khamoshi lena

dil par sau rahen kholin inkar ne jis ke
'saz' ab us ka nam tashakkur se hi lena
