پھول نے ٹہنی سے اڑنے کی کوشش کی

Phool ne Tahni se uRne ki koshish kiEk taa.ir ka dil rakhne ki koshish ki

Kal phir chand ka khanjar ghoomp ke seene meinRaat ne meri jaan lene ki koshish ki

Koi na koi rahbar rasta kaT gayaJab bhi apni rah chalne ki koshish ki

Kitni lambi khamoshi se guzra hoonUn se kitna kuchh kehne ki koshish ki

Ek hi khwab ne saari raat jagaya haiMain ne har karvaT sone ki koshish ki

Ek sitara jaldi jaldi Doob gayaMain ne jab taare ginne ki koshish ki

Naam mera tha aur pata apne ghar kaUs ne mujh ko khat likhne ki koshish ki

Ek dhu.en ka marghola sa nikla haiMiTTi mein jab dil bone ki koshish ki
