wahi bahaar o khizan hai mujh mein bhi
mujh se bahar bhi

(admi se alag nahin hun)
shagufe phuten to khun mein git bolte hain

kabhi kabhi khar ki khatak tis ban ke honton se jhankti hai
na-jaane kitne hi git the jo bahaar se pahle

shakh ki rag mein ji rahe the
jadon ka bukhl un ko kha gaya hai

ye khar, sautele bete shakhon ke
in tak aaya nahin hai nam

phir bhi ji rahe hain
(chamakte suraj ka sara sach un ke batn mein hai)

tapish ki shiddat ko pi ke sukhe sade hue hain
pa ji rahe hain

mujhe khizan aur bahaar ke rabton mein jina hai
phul ka iltifat kante ke talkh tane

mere hawale hain
jad ka nam, aaftab ki tab

mere hunar mein hi bolti hai
main kitni sathon pe ji raha hun

kabhi koi phul muskurae
kabhi koi khar dil dukhae

to mujh tak aana
ye nazm donon ka majra hai
