thandi thandi narm hawa ka jhonka pichhe chhut gaya
jaane kis wahshat mein ghar ka rasta pichhe chhut gaya

bachche meri ungli thame dhire dhire chalte the
phir wo aage daud gae main tanha pichhe chhut gaya

ahd-e-jawani ro ro kata 'mir'-miyan sa haal hua
lekin un ke aage apna qissa pichhe chhut gaya

pichhe mud kar dekhega to aage badhna mushkil hai
main ne kitni bar kaha tha dekha? pichhe chhut gaya

sar-ta-pa sailab the 'khalid' chaaron jaanib dariya tha
pyas mein jis din shiddat aai dariya pichhe chhut gaya
