Tumhare ghar ke saamne se, roz guzarta hoon,
Kehna tha bahut kuch — keh nahi paya.

Neend aati hai to khwab mein tum milte ho,
Subah aankh khulti hai to takiya geela milta hai.

Tumhari baatein sambhali, tum apni raah chale gaye,
Kuch log chale jate hain, unki goonj reh jati hai.

Raat lambi hai, mera intezar bhi lamba hai,
Kuch alvida waqt se pehle aa jata hai.

Chhat par khada tha, chand ko takta raha,
Tumhari yaadein aati hain roz — jaati kabhi nahi.
