raushni ki dhaar ne tukde kiye hain
hum badi mushkil se pahchane gae hain

zindagi ke saf-suthre raston par
jaane kya dekha ki andhe ho gae hain

faslon ko is qadar pina pada hai
jagte shahron mein nange phir rahe hain

barha socha ki khud ko dekh dalen
barha bas soch kar hi hans pade hain

ek na ek din khud bikhar jaenge 'sayyad'
log aakhir kyon pareshan ho rahe hain
