shagun le kar na kyun ghar se chala main
tumhaare shahr mein tanha phira main

akela tha kise aawaz deta
utarti raat se tanha lada main

guzarte waqt ke pairon mein aaya
sarakti dhup ka saya bana main

khalaon mein mujhe phenka gaya tha
zamin pe reza reza ho gaya main

mere hone ne mujh ko mar dala
nahin tha to bahut mahfuz tha main

yahan to aaine hi aaine hain
mujhe dhundo kahan par kho gaya main
