bura bhala wasta bahar-taur us se kuchh der to raha hai
aabaad bastiyan thin fasilon ke sae mein
rahti hai sath sath koi KHush-gawar yaad
bhul jaana tha jise sabt hai dil par mere
palaT ke aae na aae koi sune na sune
jaisi nigah thi teri waisa fusun hua
lagta hai zinda rahne ki hasrat gai nahin
inhen dar-e-KHwab-gah se kis liye haTaya
KHud apni shakl dekhe ek muddat ho gai mujhko
yahi bahut hai kisi tarah se bharam hi rah jae pesh duniya
zamane ke darbar mein dast-basta hua hai
han ye mumkin hai magar itna zaruri bhi nahin
