Din abhi kuchh yahin bitane hai
Din abhi kuchh yahin bitane hai,
Phir yeh suney mahal jalane hai.
Hoth par, ankh men ya dil men kabhi,
Pyas ke har jagah thikane hai.
Aayeena kab dikhayega chahera?
Aur kitne naqab uthane hai?
Nindmen kuchh bhi kahe diya hamne,
Aur uske hazaar mane hai.
Umr saari sadak pe rakh dete,
Ek do pal magar bachane hai.
Kaunse zakhm ab hare hoge?
Kaunse khwab ab bhulane hai?
Shaakh katon bhari to hai lekin,
Gul kisi din isi pe ane hai.
