sabab kya hai kabhi samjhi nahin main
ki tuuti to bahut bikhri nahin main
rakhi hai guftugu us se har ik pal
sukhan jis se kabhi rakhti nahin main
ye chot apne hi hathon se lagi hai
kisi ke vaar se zakhmi nahin main
karun kyuun yaad tere khal-o-khad ab
shikasta aaine chunti nahin main
ajab thi rahguzar bhi ham-rahi ki
qadam rakh kar kabhi palti nahin main
jo pahunchi sahilon par tab khula hai
ki ab vo tishnagi rakhti nahin main
