maine dekha hai yaha boht haq-navaaon ka sila...
dekhna hai terii mehfil mein ab parindon ka sila..
umar be-mayna sii lagtii hai, jab sochta houn,
ek hii lamhe mein mil jana hai, barson ka sila...
main tab se, apne hii ghar mein ajnabi houn,
maine dekha hai jab se apne hum-safiiron ka sila...
mujh se mukhalif hain, meri apnii hii saansein,
hawa mein garam hai uddti huii khabron ka sila...
woh mere naam se mashoor hai, aur main uske
kaho... ke kaun sahe kiski shohraton ka sila...???
