safina-saz tha wo lakdiyan main kat lati thi
so bas ek din kaha us ne lakadhaari

anokhe ek safine ki hi ab takhliq baqi hai
mujhe darkar hai jis ke liye nadida jangal ki

khanakti surmai lakdi
agar tu dhund lae to

bana sakta hun main nadir safina ek
main us ki baat sunte hi yakayak chaunk utthi phir

nazar bhar kar use dekha zara sa muskurai aur
kisi nadida jangal ki taraf chalne lagi paiham

na-jaane kitne milon ki masafat par khadi hun par
koi nadida jangal hi nahin milta

khanakti surmai lakdi
kahan se hath aaegi

magar ab sochti hun ki safina-saz ko mere kisi sarsabz jangal ki khanakti surmai lakdi yaqinan mil gai hogi
