mo'jiza koi dikhaun bhi to kya

chand mein shahr basaun bhi to kya

yaad aata hai barabar koi

main use yaad na aaun bhi to kya

rabt pahle hi nahin kam us se

rabta aur baDhaun bhi to kya

wo na badlega rawayya apna

main agar baat nibhaun bhi to kya

jaane majbur hai kitna wo bhi

kuchh use yaad dilaun bhi to kya

mere aangan mein na utrega wo chand

lau sitaron se lagaun bhi to kya

log viranon pe jaan dete hain

ek nagar dil mein basaun bhi to kya

kaun KHatre ko karega mahsus

main agar shor machaun bhi to kya

kaun sochega ki rona kya hai

main agar roun rulaun bhi to kya

pahli bar aaj luTa hun koi

be-sada hashr uThaun bhi to kya

main ne jo dekha hai jo socha hai

hu-ba-hu samne laun bhi to kya

log baune hain yahan pahle bhi

aur qad apna baDhaun bhi to kya

ek sha'ir hi rahunga 'ruhi'

bahr qatre mein dikhaun bhi to kya
