sanbhal sanbhal ke yahan zindagi basar ki hai
badi tawil kahani thi mukhtasar ki hai

tu mujh ko khak samajhta hai khak samjha kar
magar ye dekh ki ye khak kis ke dar ki hai

wo jis ki chhanw mein aane se jism jal jae
teri misal to ai dost us shajar ki hai

tumhaari yaad ka marham lagae phirte hain
ye chot tum ne jo di hai wo umr bhar ki hai

na sirf panw hue zehn-o-dil bhi shal jis mein
thakan to aaj bhi 'qaisar' usi safar ki hai
