raushni wale wasile ki lagi rahti hai
bas andhere ko mitane ki lagi rahti hai

wo jo gauhar hai samundar mein utar jata hai
sirf sipi ko kinare ki lagi rahti hai

aankh walon mein basarat ki kami hai shayad
jab hi andhon ko dikhawe ki lagi rahti hai

phir kisi naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa ko mitane ke liye
rah ko khak udane ki lagi rahti hai

zard mausam mein gulabon ki tamanna kar li
jis tarah dhup mein sae ki lagi rahti hai

khwab bunti thin magar aankhon ko ab sham dhale
dar ki dastak ki dariche ki lagi rahti hai

dhup-mausam mein baras jati hai barish aksar
us ko khushiyon mein bhi rone ki lagi rahti hai

phir tawajjoh nahin jati teri khafgi ki taraf
aansuon ko tere shane ki lagi rahti hai
