sab se chupa kar dard jo woh muskura diya
us ki hansi ne to aaj mujhe rula diya

lehje se uth raha tha har ik dard ka duhan
chehra bata raha tha k kuch ganwa diya

aawaz mein therao tha aankhoon mein nami thi
or keh raha tha k mein ne sab kuch bhula diya

jane kya us ko loghon se thi shikayatein
tanhaiyon ke dais mein khud ko basa diya

khud bhi voh hum se bichar kar adhura sa ho gaya
mujh ko bhi itne loghon mein tanha bana diya….
