har khushi maiN koi kami si hai

hansti aankhoN maiN bhi nami si hai

din bhi chup chaap sar jhukaye tha

rat ki nabz bhi thami si hai

kis ko samjhayeN kis ki bat nahiN

zehn aur dil maiN phir thani si hai

khab tha ya ghubar tha koi

gard in palkoN pe jami si hai

hasrataiN rakh ho gayeeN lekin

aag ab bhi kahiN dabi si hai
