tumhaare gale mein
nae khwab ke motiyon ki sunahri si mala

hamari nahin hai
samundar wo jis par

tumhaare qadam kashtiyan hon
hamein sirf dars-e-fana hai

hamare liye to
kisi ajnabi si sada ke bhanwar se nikalna bhi mumkin nahin hai

hamein aashna si nigahon se
sabze mein lipti hawa ne bulaya to

hum gir padenge
khizan ke shajar se

koi aakhiri phul ban kar
hamare har ek aaine ka to shewa hai bas

tutte dil ke ehsas se tut jaana
qayafa lagana

bhala kaun si aankh namkin se jhut ke paniyon se bhari hai
bhala kaun se hont shiriniyan bantte hain

shuruat-e-chahat mein aisa qayafa lagana nahin jaante hum
