phul kitaben le ja tanha rahne de
mera kamra, mera kamra rahne de

yar ye chaar qadam ki kya hamrahi hai!
thodi der to dil ko chalta rahne de

ab bhi us se titli milne aati hai
balcony mein tuta gamla rahne de

kat de chahe meri sari shakhon ko
jis par jhul raha hai jhula, rahne de

wo to dil tha lekin ye to bagh hai yar
ped pe mera nam to likkha rahne de

mujh ko aazadi ka kuchh ehsas to ho
is pinjre mein ek parinda rahne de
