yun bhi aankhon mein kisi khwab ka resha na bane
koi pahchan na ho thik se chehra na bane

aisi taswir bana rote hue khush bhi lagun
gham ki tarsil to ho gham ka tamasha na bane

mustahiq hun to kisi aur se tasdiq bhi kar
mujh ko mat dena agar mera dilasa na bane

jitna pukhta bhi ho dil jism se bahar rakhna
taki tute bhi to phir sine mein malba na bane

bas isi shart pe koi bhi rahe aankhon mein
nind ki samt kisi khwab ka rasta na bane

jo bhi rishta ho faqat mera ho tujh se 'danish'
aur to aur tera mujh se bhi rishta na bane
