Bistar ke aaram mein rooh ko araam kahan
neend behoshi hai, aakhon mein khwaab kahan

Dekh lo tum bhi ise kehte hai aachi zindagi
shab o sehar ek hai shikayaton ka waqt kahan

din ke ujale mein taqat e didar chup gayi
aks hee aks dikten hain vo tamam log kahan

yun zubaane khul gayee kehne ko kya baaqi raha
vo aakhon kee guftgooN vo chand alfaaz kahan

Tanha hai shayar tanha hai shayari
badla sab kuch par ham mein badlav kahan

Azal
