hun ek arse se koshish mein
ki meri adh bani taswir

apne paya-e-takmil tak pahunche
kai khat khinch rakkhe hain

banana chahti hun
kuchh hasin chehre

uchhalte kudte hanste hue
bachchon ke bhi khake

magar jab un ke honton par
tabassum khinchna chahun

to kuchh chehre ubharte hain
ki un ki jalti aankhen

jin mein aamezish dukhon ki hai
sawal-e-adl karti hain

wo ek fariyaad karti hain
main un masum chehron se

kahun bhi kya
mere hathon ki larzish

salb kar leti hai mera fan
main un ke ru-ba-ru

hone se darti hun
adhuri si meri taswir

puri ho nahin pati
