sau raha tha to shor barpa tha
uth ke dekha to main akela tha

khak par mere khwab bikhre the
aur main reza reza chunta tha

chaar jaanib wajud ki diwar
apni aawaz main hi sunta tha

umr bhar bund bund ko tarse
samne ghar ke ek dariya tha

lab-e-dariya khade rahe donon
wo bhi pyasa tha main bhi pyasa tha
