ye sargoshiyan kah rahi hain ab aao ki barson se tum ko bulate bulate mere
dil pe gahri thakan chha rahi hai

kabhi ek pal ko kabhi ek arsa sadaen suni hain magar ye anokhi nida aa rahi hai
bulate bulate to koi na ab tak thaka hai na aainda shayad thakega

mere pyare bachche mujhe tum se kitni mohabbat hai dekho agar
yun kiya to

bura mujh se badh kar na koi bhi hoga khudaya khudaya
kabhi ek siski kabhi ek tabassum kabhi sirf tewari

magar ye sadaen to aati rahi hain
inhi se hayat-e-do-roza abad se mili hai

magar ye anokhi nida jis pe gahri thakan chha rahi hai
ye har ek sada ko mitane ki dhamki diye ja rahi hai

ab aankhon mein jumbish na chehre pe koi tabassum na tewari
faqat kan sunte chale ja rahe hain

ye ek gulistan hai hawa lahlahati hai kaliyan chatakti hain
ghunche mahakte hain aur phul khilte hain khil khil ke murjha ke

girte hain ek farsh-e-makhmal banate hain jis par
meri aarzuon ki pariyan ajab aan se yun rawan hain

ki jaise gulistan hi ek aaina hai
isi aaine se har ek shakl nikhri sanwar kar miti aur mit hi gai phir na ubhri

ye parbat hai khamosh sakin
kabhi koi chashma ubalte hue puchhta hai ki us ki chatanon ke us par kya hai

magar mujh ko parbat ka daman hi kafi hai daman mein wadi hai wadi mein naddi
hai naddi mein bahti hui naw hi aaina hai

isi aaine mein har ek shakl nikhri magar ek pal mein jo mitne lagi hai to
phir na ubhri

ye sahra hai phaila hua khushk be-barg sahra
bagule yahan tund bhuton ka aks-e-mojassam bane hain

magar main to dur ek pedon ke jhurmut pe apni nigahen jamae hue hun
na ab koi sahra na parbat na koi gulistan

ab aankhon mein jumbish na chehre pe koi tabassum na tewari
faqat ek anokhi sada kah rahi hai ki tum ko bulate bulate mere dil pe

gahri thakan chha rahi hai
bulate bulate to koi na ab tak thaka hai na shayad thakega

to phir ye nida aaina hai faqat main thaka hun
na sahra na parbat na koi gulistan faqat ab samundar bulata hai mujh ko

ki har shai samundar se aai samundar mein ja kar milegi
