aaj socha hai ki KHud raste banana sikh lun
is tarah to umr sari sochti rah jaungi

aisa kya andher macha hai mere zaKHm nahin bharte
log to para para ho kar juD jate hain lamhe mein

Saima Esma

jaane phir munh mein zaban rakhne ka masraf kya hai
jo kaha chahte hain wo to nahin kah sakte

Saima Esma

kabhi kabhi to achchha-KHasa chalte chalte
yun lagta hai aage rasta koi nahin hai

Saima Esma

mayassar KHud nigah-dari ki aasaish nahin rahti
mohabbat mein to pesh-o-pas ki gunjaish nahin rahti

na-jaane kaisi nigahon se maut ne dekha
hui hai nind se bedar zindagi ki main hun

Saima Esma

naqsh jab zaKHm bana zaKHm bhi nasur hua
ja ke tab koi masihai pe majbur hua
