"rishta raha ajiib mira zindagi ke saath chalta ho jaise koi kisi ajnabi ke saath"

"ahrman ka raqs-e-vahshat har gali har moD par barbariyyat dekh kar hai khud qaza sahmi hui"

"maut ke khunkhar panjon men sisakti hai hayat aaj hai insaniyat ki har ada sahmi hui"

"gard-e-safar ke saath tha vabasta intizar ab to kahin ghubar bhi baaqi nahin raha"

"us se bachhDa to yuun laga jaise koi mujh men bikhar gaya sahab"

"phir koi choT ubhri dil men kasak si jaagi yadon ki aaj shayad purva.i chal rahi hai"

'shakil' hijr ke zinon pe ruk gaiin yaadein
isi maqaam par aa kar Thahar gai shab bhi

rishta rahaa ajiib miraa zindagi ke saath
chaltaa ho jaise koi kisi ajnabi ke saath

ahrman kaa raqs-e-vahshat har gali har moD par
barbariyyat dekh kar hai khud qazaa sahmi hui

maut ke khunkhaar panjon mein sisakti hai hayaat
aaj hai insaaniyat ki har adaa sahmi hui

gard-e-safar ke saath thaa vaabasta intizaar
ab to kahin ghubaar bhi baaqi nahin rahaa

us se bachhDaa to yuun lagaa jaise
koi mujh mein bikhar gayaa saahab
