uzr hawa ne kya rakkha hai
kaisa shor macha rakkha hai

ek be-nam talluq mein bhi
khauf bichhadne ka rakkha hai

dekho hum ne is lamhe ka
kitna bojh utha rakkha hai

us ki aankhen dekh raha hun
jis ne jal bichha rakkha hai

dhup mein us ne kis ki khatir
chhat par chand uga rakkha hai

tum pagal ho tum kya jaano
kis ke dil mein kya rakkha hai

hum ne teri khatir hi to
aankhon mein rasta rakkha hai

aaj ghazal kuhni thi hum ne
tum ko pas bitha rakkha hai

'qais' apni diwar mein hum ne
ek diya dafna rakkha hai
