bite waqt ka chehra DhunDhta rahta hai

shahr bezar rahguzar tanha

jis bhi jagah dekhi usne apni taswir haTa li thi

dar pe tere jo sar jhuka lunga

nam aankhon mein kya kar lega ghussa dekhenge

ab kahan dard jism-o-jaan mein hai

tere ghurur mere zabt ka sawal raha

meri wafa ki mukammal tu dastan kar de

baaton baaton mein hi unwan badal jate hain

us gali tak saDak rahi hogi

bara chand gae punam ke pyar bhara ek sawan bhi

kisi sukhe hue shajar sa hun

rahi hai yun hi nadamat mujhe muqaddar se
