ab soch rahe hain yahan kya kya nahin dekha

rangon ki pahchan nahin kar sakta tha

rukhi-sukhi kha sakte the

rang-o-sifat-e-yar mein dil Dhal nahin raha

dariyaon ko haal suna kar raqs kiya

jo jaan chhiDakte the wahi kahte hain mujhse

ek karb ka mausam hai jo daim hai abhi tak

in charaghon ka kya bigaDa tha?

lafz aur aawaz donon kho gae

ghurbat ka ehsan tha hum par
