sae majbur hain pedon se utarne ke liye
kyun khizan kahti hai patton se bikharne ke liye

bhar ke mutthi mein to le jaegi baadal ko hawa
koi shab aaegi taron se sanwarne ke liye

us ko do pal bhi mera sath gawara na hua
sath mein jis ke main tayyar tha marne ke liye

kahin aisa to nahin hai ki hawa ruth gai
muntazir phul hain baghon mein bikharne ke liye

kis bahane se tujhe dekhne aae 'jawed'
koi rasta ho tere dar se guzarne ke liye
