nadi ne dhuup se kya kah diya ravani men
ujale paanv patakne lage hain paani men
ye koi aur hi kirdar hai tumhari tarah
tumhara zikr nahin hai miri kahani men
ab itni saari shabon ka hisab kaun rakhe
bade savab kamae gae javani men
chamakta rahta hai suraj-mukhi men koi aur
mahak raha hai koi aur rat-rani men
ye mauj mauj nai halchalen si kaisi hain
ye kis ne paanv utare udaas paani men
main sochta huun koi aur karobar karun
kitab kaun kharidega is girani men
