us ne mazaq samjha mera dil dukha gaya
phir mom-battiyon ko hamesha bujha gaya

nikla tha khud ko dhundne us regzar mein
mayus ho ke rasta wapas chala gaya

ek ek gali mein dhund rahi thi hawa mujhe
lahron ke sath sath mera naqsh-e-pa gaya

bistar pe lete lete meri aankh lag gai
ye kaun mere kamre ki batti bujha gaya

sata raha tha lawn mein sab kaam chhod kar
jhonka hawa ka aaya aur hans kar chala gaya
