na jaane din kaise jivan mein aaye hain
ke mujhase to bichhade kud mere saaye hain

kya kya socha tha kya thi ummiden
jisake liye bhi mainne kho di aankhon ki ye ninden
usise dukhon ke tohafe ye paaye hain
na jaane

samajha sukh jisako chhaaya thi gam ki
jaise kahin ret pe chamake kuchh buundein shabanam ki
ye dhokhe nazar ke hamane bhi khaaye hain
na jaane
