wafa ke dawon pe hans raha tha
mujhe naya hijr ho gaya tha

bahut hi bad-shakl nikli duniya
main pahle parde pe dekhta tha

use batata tha meri baaten
khuda meri kal sun raha tha

samajh mein kya aata mera lahja
kisi ki baaton mein aa gaya tha

utar phenki thi sham sar se
abhi to para nahin chadha tha

tum aaj tak ro rahe ho jo gham
wo do dinon se ziyaada ka tha

gharib bewa ka hath thama
madine jaane ka rasta tha

aur us ki haryanwi zaban thi
aur us ke hathon mein ek ghada tha

ye jumla jo pahle kah diya hai
ye wasl ke ain baad ka tha
