ye kis cheez ko apne sinne se lagaye baithe hain

ye kis cheez ko apne sinne se lagaye baithe hain,
woh pass nahi phir bhi uski aas lagaye baithe hain,

soti aankho me khuli kitab hai kiski,
jagti aankho se kiske khawaab sajaye baithe hain,

gumnaam se tumhari baato me hai kaun,
hoto me kiska naam dabaye baithe hain,

nagmo me kiska dhundhla sa jikr hai,
aankho me kiski tasveer chhupaye baithe hain,

chehre pe jalakta hai wo noor hai kiska,
khawaabo me kiski duniya basaye baithe hain,

sar jhukate hain hain log meri uss chaahat ko,
jiski ummeed me apni hasti ko mitaye baithe hain.
