ye jo bazar mein phaile hue hain

ye jo bazar mein phaile hue hain
sab apne kamron mein simte hue hain
dikha sakte hain danaon ko rasta
miyan hum 'ishq mein andhe hue hain


tera bazar kaise chhod jaen
yahin mahnge yahin saste hue hain
teri copy kitabon ki badaulat
mere parche bahut achchhe hue hain


tumhaari aankhon ne kuchh kah diya hai
tamannaon ke munh phule hue hain
kahin thokar na lag jae zamin par
sitare zehn mein rakkhe hue hain


banate rahte hain jannat ke naqshe
teri galiyon mein jo bhatke hue hain
wo pyale hon ki matke hon ki kuze
sabhi ek chaak se utre hue hain
