koi aage na pichhe bahut dur tak
ek lambi sadak

darmiyan mein koi saya chehra-ba-kaf
goya taswir tajrid mahaul ka canwas

behad-o-be-karan
is pe bujhta hua raat ka koela

aag ka raaz-dan
sare pas-manzaron ko samete hue

jo dikhai nahin de raha wo dhuan
aur sadak jis ka koi sira hi nahin

chal raha hun bahut muddaton se yunhi
koi aage na pichhe bahut dur tak
