Zameen par thi toh aasmaan ko choona chaaha,
Taare mile toh chaand par hona chaaha
Par laalach bhi thi kuch is tarah,
Ki paane ke liye kuch khona na chaaha

Guzar rahi hai zindagi kuch theekh si,
Mili ek se zyaada seekh bhi
Phir bhi kadam baddhaakar use rokna chaaha
Aur maangni chaahi ek bheekh si. . .

Lekin kadam na baddhe yeh accha hua,
Nahi poori hui woh anhonee dua
Jo mila woh bahut hai shaayad
Kam se kam kisine humaare ruh ko chhuaa. . . :)
