aahista boliyega tamasha khaDa na ho

KHubiyon ko masKH kar ke aib jaisa kar diya

saint kar iman kuchh din aur rakhna hai abhi

wo aur honge nufus be-dil jo kahkashaen shumarte hain

sach yahi hai ki bahut aaj ghin aati hai mujhe

rakhe rakhe ho gae purane tamam rishte

tere tasawwur ki dhup oDhe khaDa hun chhat par

sabhi musafir chalen agar ek ruKH to kya hai maza safar ka

chilchilati-dhup thi lekin tha saya ham-qadam

yahan pe hansna rawa hai rona hai be-hayai
