mera chehra hi ilhami nahin tha
ke aankhen thin magar pani nahin tha

nigahen bas tumhaare zabt pe thin
main warna is qadar ziddi nahin tha

kisi dastak pe meri nind tuti
magar main so gaya dil hi nahin tha

sar-e-diwar chikhen chikhti thin
pas-e-diwar koi bhi nahin tha

jalan ye kah rahi thi jism mera
tumhaare lams se khali nahin tha
