‘Jo zaher pee chuka huin,

tumne mujhe diya,

ab tum to zindgi ki duain

Muje na do.’

‘ Do he lafzon ka tha ye afsana,

jo suna ker khamosh ho baitha

Ibtada ye hai ki tum ko paya tha,

inteha ye hai ki khud ko kho baitha. ‘

‘ Sunao kisko afsana

na apna hai na begana,

Likha hai meri kismet,

main Jahan ki thokre khana.’
