Roobaroo dar, chale jaane ke baad aaoge?
Kaun kehta hai, ki,ab umra bhar sataoge?
Naazneeno ki adaaon ka kya bayaan karu
Har lamhe nain tokte hain, ki, 'kab jaaoge?
Khud bulaya tha, kai baar bhej kar "shoonya"
Dar pai haazir hun kya pata, ki, kab bulaaoge?
Maantaa hun, ki, khata mujhse ho gayi hogi!
Daur-e-ulfat hai kab tak wahi dohraoge?
Saath taahashra rahega, ye zaroori to nahi!
Kab tak saath ho, ye bhi nahi bataaoge?
Ruk bhi jayega agar chaand, to, kitne lamhe?
Magrabi jaw me kahaan par pata lagaaoge?
Tamaam dar khule hain dil ke, na jaane kab se
Khade rahoge door, yaa kadam badhaoge?
Sadaaein lakh zehen me panaah leti hai?
Gazal hai ek simat ta shoonya ki kab sunaoge?
