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

mujhe KHabar hai kya kuchh hai buniyaadon mein

ab tere hijr mein ek pal na guzara jae

hum talwar uTha nahin pae

dastak dene wale tujhko ilm nahin

sar apna uTha sakta nahin koi bhi iblis

rang badla hua tha phulon ka

wo jalwa-e-sad-rang mein ek Dhang se nikla

malum nahin kaun si basti ke makin the

badle hain zamane ne KHad-o-Khaal tere bhi

nili chhat pe la-mahdud parinde the
