main to ab shahr mein hun aur koi raat gae

main jis ko sochta rahta hun kya hai wo aaKHir

ek tu ne hi nahin ki junun ki dukan band

aankhon ne banai thi koi KHwab ki taswir

sunte hain bayaban bhi kabhi shahr raha tha

siyah raat ke pahlu mein jism ke andar

kisi ne jaan hi luTa di wafaon ki KHatir

paniyon mein khel kuchh aisa bhi hona chahiye tha

ye kaenat bhi kya qaid-KHana hai koi

wo bhi na aaya umr-e-guzishta ke misl hi

der tak jagte rahne ka sabab yaad aaya

pairon se bandh leta hun pichhli masafaten

na chand ka na sitaron na aaftab ka hai

hum kisi aur waqt ke hain asir

ab jism ke andar se aawaz nahin aati
