din bhar ke masruf qadam
jab laut ke ghar ko aate hain

to
apne sath thake shanon par

shal hathon ka bar uthae
bojhal aankhon ki maddham binai le kar

aao aazar sunne ki ek halki si ummid liye
ghar ki dahliz pe ruk jate hain

aur purana darwaza
jab khulta hai to

sab manus dariche banhen phaila kar
in qadmon ki aahat par

aane wale is paikar ko
sham ki khamoshi mein ishaare karte hain

kamre ki kursi ke sukun-parwar hain daste
bistar ki ujli chadar hai dost-nawaz

takiye ki narmi mein hamdardi ki garmi
kut kut kar bhari hui hai

chaaron or mere kamre mein
khushbu si hai

jaise tumhaara
ek saya sa

mere sath raha karta hai
