pairahan jism pe aur munh mein niwala hota
kash har shakhs ke aangan mein ujala hota

chhod kar shakh na jate ye parinde shayad
pyar se hum ne agar un ko sanbhaala hota

rabta tod diya ek hi jhatke mein kyon
guftugu kar ke koi hal to nikala hota

itne rishton ko bikharne se bacha sakte the
kash is pal ko kisi tarah to tala hota

mil ke rahte jo mohabbat se sabhi gul is mein
phir to gulshan ka nazara hi nirala hota

kho chuke hote udasi ke samundar mein hum
khud ko gar waqt ke sanche mein na dhaala hota

hum bhi auron ki tarah waqt pe sote 'madhuman'
rog hum ne jo sukhan ka nahin pala hota
