war hua kuchh itna gahra pani ka
nikla chattanon se rasta pani ka

dekha khun to aankhon se aansu nikle
jod gaya donon ko rishta pani ka

tiron ki bauchhad bhi sahna hai mujh ko
mere hath mein hai mashkiza pani ka

udti ret pe likhna hai tafsir use
jis ne samajh liya hai lahja pani ka

pighla sona aankhon mein bhar leta hun
rang jo ho jata hai sunahra pani ka

aankhon mein jitne aansu the khushk hue
qaht hai ab ke dariya dariya pani ka

chalta hun be-ab zaminon par 'shahid'
aankhon mein phirta hai dariya pani ka
