sahra ka har bagula mujh par lapak raha tha
khud apni justuju thi so main bhatak raha tha

ye bar-e-jism aakhir main ne utha liya hai
aaza chatakh rahe the aur main bhi thak raha tha

mujh mein kisi ki surat kya gul khila rahi thi
bahar se hans raha tha andar sisak raha tha

ye meri khamushi bhi le jaegi kahan tak
main aaj sirf us ki aawaz tak raha tha

kamre mein ek udasi kaisi mahak rahi thi
aankhon se ek aansu kaisa chhalak raha tha
