kahin ek nuqte pe
phaile hue aasman ke thahar jae suraj

kisi ek goshe mein
tarik ghaaron ke ru-posh ho jae

qasid siyah-raat ka
chaman mein har ek samt

kaliyan labon ko rakhen wa
magar koi shabnam ka qatra

na un mein gire
ye mumkin hua hai na ab tak magar

zamin apne mehwar pe gardish lagati rahi hai
