chalo, yahaan se chalein ....haath.... jal na jaaye kahin...

nazar-nawaaz.... nazaaraa ....badal na jaaye kahin;
zaraa-si baat hai.... munh se... nikal na jaaye kahin.

wo dekhte hain.... to lagtaa hai..... neenv hilti hai;
mere bayaan ko...... bandish.... nigal na jaaye kahin.

yun .....mujhko khud pe .....bahut etbaar hai ....lekin;
ye barf ......aanch ke aage..... pighal na jaaye kahin.

chale hawaa.... to..... kiwaadon ko band kar lenaa;
ye garm raakh...... sharaaron mein..... dhal na jaaye kahin.

tamaam raat..... tere maiqade mein..... mai pee hai;
tamaam umr..... nashe mein..... nikal na jaaye kahin.

kabhi ......machaan pe chadhne ki..... aarjoo ubhari;
kabhi .....ye dar..... ki ......seedhi fisal na jaaye kahin.

ye log...... hom-o-hawan mein.... yaqeen karte hain;
chalo, yahaan se chalein ....haath.... jal na jaaye kahin........
