bhiD mein ek ajnabi ka samna achchha laga

jab bhi aaankhon mein tere wasl ka lamha chamka

huzur-e-yar mein harf iltija ke rakkhe the

ye aur baat hai tujhse gila nahin karte

sainkaDon hi rahnuma hain rasta koi nahin

band tha darwaza bhi aur agar mein bhi tanha tha main

hawa hi lau ko ghaTati wahi baDhati hai

tu nahin tera istiara nahin

zindagi dard bhi dawa bhi thi

yaad ke sahra mein kuchh to zindagi aae nazar

dar-e-kaenat jo wa kare usi aagahi ki talash hai

parde mein is badan ke chhupen raaz kis tarah

tera ye lutf kisi zaKHm ka unwan na ho

kan laga kar sunti raaten baaten karte din

ye gard-baad-e-tamana mein ghumte hue din
