muddaten biit gaiin
tum nahin aaiin ab tak
roz suraj ke bayaban men
bhatakti hai hayat
chand ke ghaar men
thak-har ke so jaati hai raat
phuul kuchh der mahakta hai
bikhar jaata hai
har nasha
lahr banane men utar jaata hai
vaqt!
be-chehra havaon sa guzar jaata hai
kisi avaz ke sabze men lahak jaisi tum
kisi khamosh tabassum men chamak jaisi tum
kisi chehre men mahakti hui ankhon jaisi
kahin abru kahin gesu kahin banhon jaisi
chand se
phuul talak
yuun to tumhin tum ho magar
tum koi chehra koi jism koi naam nahin
tum jahan bhi ho
adhuri ho haqiqat ki tarah
tum koi khvab nahin ho
jo mukammal hogi
