nam wo mera pukare ja raha tha main kahan tha
hadisa ye khubsurat kab hua tha main kahan tha

dhundhta main phir raha tha jis ko sare shahr bhar mein
wo to mere ru-ba-ru baitha hua tha main kahan tha

meri bazi ko palatne ke liye tayyar the sab
samne mere ye sab kuchh ho raha tha main kahan tha

aaj wade se mukarta phir raha hai chhup raha hai
us ne sab ke samne wada kiya tha main kahan tha

gham bhulane ke liye sab log baithe the wahan par
mere jaison ke liye hi mai-kada tha main kahan tha

ab na shayad mil saken ek dusre se yun kabhi hum
jate jate us ne mujh se ye kaha tha main kahan tha

mera daman kyon raha 'ejaz' khali rahmaton se
jholiyan allah sab ki bhar raha tha main kahan tha
