safar ke tasawwur se sahma hua hun
badi der se yun hi thahra hua hun

udhar dubte ja rahe hain sitare
idhar main khayalon mein uljha hua hun

jalane ke qabil na likhne ke laeq
main kaghaz hun sada pa bhiga hua hun

sambhaale hun khud ko badi kawishon se
mujhe chhu na lena main chatkha hua hun

musalsal padi hai kadi dhup mujh par
mera rang dekho main kaisa hua hun

na baqi hai saya na barg-o-samar hain
main mausam ki sazish ka mara hua hun

thamengi kabhi to mukhalif hawaen
yahi soch kar khud mein simta hua hun
