zakhm risne laga hai phir shayad
yaad us ne kiya hai phir shayad

siskiyan gunjti hain kanon mein
ghar kisi ka jala hai phir shayad

hasil-e-umr kya yahi kuchh hai
ye abhi sochna hai phir shayad

dar-e-zindan pe phir hui dastak
koi dard-ashna hai phir shayad

phir parinde ude hain shakhon se
ek dhamaka hua hai phir shayad

muskuraate hain dekh dekh ke log
imtihan-e-wafa hai phir shayad
