Kisi ne ek roz poocha mujh se
Kitna dard hai tumare dil mein?
Toota dil hain ya bas zindagi ka sabab
Ishq hai wajeh, ya kisi lath ki hai talab?
Aadat hai janaab, insaan ki mujhe
Ishq thi ya madhoshi, nahi pata mujhe
----
Par eshaas toh hain iss baat ka ke
Kami mehsoos hoti hai aaj bhi mujhe
Bayaan par kya hi kare hum
Sabhi - yaha sabhi - ke dil mein kaafi bhara hain gam.
Toh bas do peg laga lete hai
Uske naam ka kadva ghoont yun hi pee lete hai
---
Dekh ke raqib ko raakh hote hai
Saaqi ke saath gam kuch hadh tak baat lete hai
Aasun ka ek katra bhi nahi baha te hai
Gam ko - shabdo se ek kavita mein piroh dete hai
Aaj bhi uss insaan ko yaad toh karte hi hain
Par saath jeene ki tamannah nahi rakhte hai.
