Arz Kiya hai:
Qadar nahi ki yahan apno ne apno ki,
Bahar-e-zindagi ne logo ke dilo mein taale laga diye…
Waqt ke zeher ne rishton ko dheere dheere sukhaya,
Aur sacchaiyon ko jhooth ki gard mein chhupa diye…
Muskurahat ke parde pe har chehra ab theher gaya,
Andar ke toofan ne kitne khwabon ko uda diye…
Jin raaston pe saath chalne ka wada aksar karte the,
Wahi modon par unhone humko tanha chhod diya…
Dil ke shehr mein pehle umeedon ki roshni thi,
Ab andheron ne aa ke har dehleez ko dhoond diya…
Yeh kaisi duniya hai jahan apnapan bhi be-mehnat bikta hai,
Aur jazbaat ke sikke waqt ki chhati mein kho gaye…
Jo kabhi humari saans tak ki hifazat poochte the,
Aaj unhi ne rishte ki saari hadiyaan tor di…
Koyi mehsoos kare to samajh aata hai dard ka fasana,
Varna duniya waalo ne to har aansu ko bhi afsana samajh liya…
