tere qarib jo chupke khada hua tha main
bataun kaise ki khud se dara hua tha main

jahan se aage kahin hum bichhadne wale the
palat ke dekha wahin par ruka hua tha main

ujad shahr hun aur dekhne ke qabil hun
suna gaya hai ki ek din basa hua tha main

bula rahi thi bahut ek lambi nind mujhe
nahin ye yaad ki kitna jaga hua tha main

fana se guzrun to kuchh aashkar ho shayad
ki zindagi mein muamma bana hua tha main
