wo mere jism mein hote hue bhi
har samt bikhra hua hai

jo zamin pe hai na hawa mein hai
harf-o-mani ki har qaid se aazad rishta

teri yaad mein guzra har din naya hai
jo aaina bhi

aaine ka hijab bhi hai
mere takhayyul se us ke zehn tak

na koi falak hai na koi khala hai
mustaar falsafon se aari

hum apni kitab khud
khud hi apne kitab-khwan

main hun dhup to wo chhanw hai
fasla ek hai donon jaanib

ki is adam ko abhi hast hona hai
na koi sar pe khada abr

na ghani chhanw ka saya hai
jo mere azal se mere abad tak

mera ham-safar ban gaya hai
wo mere jism mein hote hue bhi

har samt bikhra hua hai
