yaad ki basti ka yun to har makan Khaali hua

hukmaran jab se huin basti pe afwahen wahan

faza hoti ghubar-aluda suraj Dubta hota

wo ek lamha-e-rafta bhi kya bula laya

bas saliqe se zara barbaad hona hai tumhein

to kya taDap na thi ab ke mere pukare mein

hum apne ishq ki babat kuchh ehtimal mein hain

ghubar-e-dard mein rah-e-najat aisa hi

nasib-e-chashm mein likkha hai gar pani nahin hona

ba-rah-e-rast nahin phir bhi rabta sa hai

main nahin rota hun ab ye aankh roti hai mujhe
