go zara si baat par barson ke yarane gae

KHatir ab ahl-e-dil bhi bane hain zamana-saz

fazaen chup hain kuchh aisi ki dard bolta hai

kaisi chali hai ab ke hawa tere shahr mein

gulon ki mahfil-e-rangin mein Khaar ban na sake

ye kaun chupke chupke uTha aur chal diya

ek ek kar ke log nikal aae dhup mein

qatre ki juraton ne sadaf se liya KHiraj

insan hun ghir gaya hun zamin ke KHudaon mein

ek tajassus dil mein hai ye kya hua kaise hua

wahshaten kuchh is tarah apna muqaddar ban gain

logon ne to suraj ki chaka-chaund ko puja

sar rakh ke so gaya hun ghamon ki salib par

tu nahin pas teri yaad to hai

jo phul aaya sabz qadam ho ke rah gaya
