teri aankhen chhalak jaen to saghar bhul jate hain
tirī āñkheñ chhalak jaa.eñ to sāġhar bhuul jaate haiñ
kabhī gahrā.iyāñ itnī samundar bhuul jaate haiñ
hasīñ phūloñ ko bachche zid meñ aa kar toḌ lete haiñ
magar un ko kitāboñ meñ dabā kar bhuul jaate haiñ
koī jharnā ki ghuñghrū yā koī gaatā parinda ho
vo apnī lai tirī āvāz sun kar bhuul jaate haiñ
yahāñ to saare mujrim haiñ kise sañgsār karnā hai
uThā kar haath meñ sab log patthar bhuul jaate haiñ
ga.e din kī masāfat kī thakan baaqī to hai lekin
purānī baat ham taaza safar par bhuul jaate haiñ
purāne peḌ kī 'sīmīñ' sadā.eñ tak nahīñ sunte
parinde bevafā haiñ chhāoñ pā kar bhuul jaate haiñ
teri aankhen chhalak jaen to saghar bhul jate hain
kabhi gahraiyan itni samundar bhul jate hain
hasin phulon ko bachche zid mein aa kar toD lete hain
magar un ko kitabon mein daba kar bhul jate hain
koi jharna ki ghunghru ya koi gata parinda ho
wo apni lai teri aawaz sun kar bhul jate hain
yahan to sare mujrim hain kise sangsar karna hai
uTha kar hath mein sab log patthar bhul jate hain
gae din ki masafat ki thakan baqi to hai lekin
purani baat hum taza safar par bhul jate hain
purane peD ki 'simin' sadaen tak nahin sunte
parinde bewafa hain chhaon pa kar bhul jate hain
