nahin main hausla to kar raha tha
zara tere sukun se dar raha tha

achanak jhenp kar hansne laga main
bahut rone ki koshish kar raha tha

bhanwar mein phir hamein kuchh mashghale the
wo bechaara to sahil par raha tha

larazte kanpte hathon se budha
chilam mein phir koi dukh bhar raha tha

achanak lau uthi aur jal gaya main
bujhi kirnon ko yakja kar raha tha

gila kya tha agar sab sath hote
wo bas tanha safar se dar raha tha

ghalat tha rokna ashkon ko yun bhi
ki buniyaadon mein pani mar raha tha
