rah mein paDti thi diwar nahin dekh saka

rah mein padti thi diwar nahin dekh saka
main ki is par tha us par nahin dekh saka
dekhta tha jise rozana ki buniyaad pe main
ek do sal se ek bar nahin dekh saka


yar tu kaise kisi shakhs ki jaan leta hai
main to ek chidiya ko bimar nahin dekh saka
is pe kya gham ki churai hain nigahen us ne
main bhi to us ko lagatar nahin dekh saka


tu ai dushman meri haalat ko kahan dekhega
meri jaanib to mera yar nahin dekh saka
is liye umr se main tujh ko bada lagta hun
tu mere hijr ki raftar nahin dekh saka


aisi tartib se rakkha tha saja kar 'danish'
mal mein naqs kharidar nahin dekh saka
