kabhi siyaahi kam pad jaati hai

kabhi kaagaz ki wasee dekhke sehem jaati hoon

ab haal kuch aur hai mera

na toh kagaaz ki hai galti

aur siyaahi bhi begunaah hai aaj

bus dil ki kami hai

jo beemaar firta hai

khwabon ke sheher mein

aur kabhi na poore hone waale khwahishon ke galiyon mein

jaise koi na-mard ,sirf apni jeb bharkar

firta hoga tawayafon ke mohalle mein.
