Misaal isakii kahaa.n hai zamaane me.n 
ki saare khone ke gam paaye hamane paane me.n 


vo shakl pighalii to har shai me.n dhal gaii jaise 
ajiib baat huii hai use bhulaane me.n 


jo mu.ntazir na milaa vo to ham hai sharmi.ndaa 
ki hamane der lagaa dii palat ke aane me.n 


latiif thaa vo takhaiyyul se, khvaab se naazuk 
gavaa diyaa hamane hii use aazamaane me.n 


samajh liyaa thaa kabhii ek saraab ko dariyaa 
par ek sukuun thaa hamako fareb khaane me.n 


jhukaa darakht havaa se, to aa.ndhiyo.n ne kahaa 
ziyaadaa farq nahii.n jhuk ke tuut jaane me.n
