zakhm sine ka phir ubhar aaya
yaad bhar koi chaara-gar aaya

mujh ko bakhshi khuda ne ek beti
chand aangan mein ek utar aaya

khush nasibon ko ghar mila yaro
mere hisse mein phir safar aaya

tum taghayyur ki baat par thahre
main salibon se baat kar aaya

apni tahzib ko nahin chhoda
ye bhi ilzam mere sar aaya

ek kali khil ke phul mein badli
ek bhanwra bhi phul par aaya

par utra ufuq ke suraj to
phir musafir ko yaad ghar aaya

dosti dhup se hi kar li jab
rah mein tab ghana shajar aaya

dil to 'shayan' tutna hi tha
us ka kirdar bhi nazar aaya
