tanhai se jab ukta ke baith gaya
main phir maikhane mein aa ke baith gaya

patthar ko patthar hi achchhe lagte hain
so apne tabqe mein ja ke baith gaya

aaj gali se main ne dekha tha us ko
chanda chhat par hi sharma ke baith gaya

sanjh dhali to hum bhi apne ghar aae
saya pas hamare aa ke baith gaya

aakhir ek charagh ne aisi kya thani
dekho aage aaj hawa ke baith gaya

logon ne puchha jab us ke bare mein
'rahi' apni nazm suna ke baith gaya
