wahan bhi zahr-zaban kaam kar gaya hoga
ki aadmi tha wo baaton se dar gaya hoga

thi main bhi us pe hansi mil ke is jahan ke sath
ye sun ke sharm se shayad wo mar gaya hoga

hazar bar suna phir bhi dil nahin mana
ki mere pyar se dil us ka bhar gaya hoga

nae makin hain ab wan use khabar kab thi
bade khulus se wo mere ghar gaya hoga

koi daricha khula rah gaya tha aandhi mein
mera wajud yaqinan bikhar gaya hoga

wo jaanta to hai mahfil ke bhi sabhi aadab
jo dekh kar nahin uttha to dar gaya hoga

na ho jo sath pe halchal to is se ye na samajh
chadha hua tha jo dariya utar gaya hoga
