bas ......aur .....iske siwaa ....jazb-e-wafaa kyaa hai.....

jo ....too nahin ....to.... tere khwaab ....dekhnaa kyaa hai;
adhoore shahar mein...... rahne se .......faaidaa kyaa hai.

musibaton mein ......ubharti hai shakhsiyat..... yaaron;
jo..... pattharon se na uljhe... wo ......aayeenaa kyaa hai.

wo.... apne chehre ka likkhaa bhi...... padh nahin saktaa;
har ik se..... poochh rahaa hai .......meraa pataa kyaa hai.

ye ......raushni ke iraadon ki baat thi .........warnaa;
hawaa ke saamne ........nanhaa saa ....ik ....diyaa kyaa hai.

hawaa ki tezi ........dareeche mein .......band kar lenaa;
bas ......aur .....iske siwaa ....jazb-e-wafaa kyaa hai......
