teri sansen hasin mausam ko thame dur ki rahon pe ja niklen
magar phir bhi meri aankhon ke sahil par ye likkha hai

ki tu ek din hamesha ki tarah hansti mahakti
sham ki pazeb jhankati mere ghar laut aaegi

magar is khwab ki kachchi kali jab bhi mahakne ko zara tadpi
to sarkash aandhiyan chal den

so ab tu hi bata mujh ko
main hathon ki lakiron ke safar par jaun to kaise

main thahra aks ka qaidi
jo sochon ke siyah parde pe taswiren banata hai

mujhe shahron ke jangal se kahan nirwan milna tha
ye tere khwab ke andhe bayaban aaj mera gyan thahre hain

main kandhon par azal se aasman rakkhe
zamanon ki tahon mein gum

usi pal ke dorahe par khada aawaz deta hun
ki jis lamhe teri sansen

hasin mausam ko thame dur ki rahon pe ja niklin
dilon ke gumbadon mein koi bhi naghma nahin gunja

na andhi raat ke dar par kisi ki dastaken gunjin
main khud pe munkashif hone ko hun aakhir

ki main apne taaqub mein
teri yaadon ke dhundle raston ka ek musafir hun

sunahre surajon ki ek chingari ka talib hun
