fikr ki daud mein
tum dur nikal aae ho

apni manzil ko bahut pichhe hi chhod aae ho
kahin aisa na ho

kal tum ko
palatna pade manzil ki taraf

aur phir
tab-o-tawan sath na de

husn-e-bayan sath na de
khama angusht-ba-dandan rah jae

ungliyan sakit-o-jamid ho jaen
panw tharrane lagen

aur manzil to kuja
naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa na mile
