kabhi sahra to kabhi dast sajane me gayi
zindagi apni faqat khaak udane me gayi

wo jo ik umra mili thi tere diwaane ko
ret par bas teri tasweer banaane me men gayi

aisi ujadi hai ghame-hijra men dil ki bastii
jo bhi daulat thi wo sab isako basaane me gayi

Koi aaya nahin seene se lagaane hamko
Jo bhi tanhaai mili khud ko manaane me gayi

Is qadar dil ye pashemaan hua hai apna
jis tarah khud ko banana tha mitaane men gayi

Ek rut aayi thi jiine ke liye duniya men
kaise naadan hain wo jaan ganwane men gayi.

kabhi sahra ........
