agarche tujh se bahut ikhtilaf bhi na hua magar ye dil tiri janib se saaf bhi na hua taalluqat ke

ab itni sadgi laaen kahan se zamin ki khair mangen asman se agar chahen to vo divar kar den hamen

ab bhala chhod ke ghar kya karte shaam ke vaqt safar kya karte teri masrufiyaten jante hain apne aane ki

aks-e-khushbu huun bikharne se na roke koi aur bikhar jaun to mujh ko na samete koi kaanp uthti huun main

apni hi sada sunun kahan tak jangal ki hava rahun kahan tak har baar hava na hogi dar par har

apni rusvai tire naam ka charcha dekhun ik zara sher kahun aur main kya kya dekhun niind aa jaae to

apni tanhai mire naam pe abad kare kaun hoga jo mujhe us ki tarah yaad kare dil ajab shahr ki

ashk aankh men phir atak raha hai kankar sa koi khatak raha hai main us ke khayal se gurezan vo

bab-e-hairat se mujhe izn-e-safar hone ko hai tahniyat ai dil ki ab divar dar hone ko hai khol den zanjir-e-dar

badban khulne se pahle ka ishara dekhna main samundar dekhti huun tum kinara dekhna yuun bichhadna bhi bahut asan na
