khurdure jism ke nasheb-o-faraaz
jaanne ki hawas mein jis ki zaban
aur sab zaiqe bhula baiThi
wo nihatta akela raat ke waqt
ek dil-doz chiKH ke ham-rah
jangalon ki taraf gaya tha kabhi
aur phir lauT kar nahin aaya
ab wo shayad kabhi na aaega
us ke sae ki donon aanhken magar
maut se us ki be-KHabar hain abhi
is ki aamad ki muntazir hain abhi
