kahan tak khema-e-dil mein chhupaen
apni aason aur pyason ko

kahan tak khauf ke be-shakl sahra ki hatheli par
kurede jaen aankhen aur

lakiren raushni ki phir na ban paen
hum insan ho ke bhi sae ki khushbu ko taras jaen

chalo ek dusre ki khwahishon ki dhup mein
jalte hue aangan ki virani mein aankhen band kar len aur baras jaen

yahan tak tut kar barsen ki pani
wasl ki mitti mein khushbu gundh le aur phir saron tak se guzar jae

zamin se aasman tak ek hi manzar sanwar jae
hamare raston par aasman apni gawahi bhej de

khushbu bikhar jae
zamin panw ko chhu le

chandni dil mein utar jae
hawa gar hijr ki sazish mein hisse-dar ban kar darmiyan aae

hijr ke par bhig jaen aur
hawa pani mein mil jae
