aap to ishq mein danai liye baiThe hain

uDne ki aarzu mein hawa se lipaT gaya

ye na samjho ki kisi dard ke izhaar mein thi

buland azm ho gaya paron mein kaT aa gai

aajizi aaj hai mumkin hai na ho kal mujh mein

apni be-chehragi bhi dekha kar

yahan hawa ke siwa raat bhar na tha koi

ek talluq nahin sambhla to bhanwar tak pahuncha

amal ka radd-e-amal waqt ka jawab hun main

ghalat-bayani pe uski yaqin dikhati rahi

wo sath aaya to meri uDan baiTh gai

faza mein phaili hui tirgi mein shamil hun

katra ke zindagi se guzar jaun kya karun

sab kuchh hai ayan phir bhi hai parda mere aage

aap shayad bhul baiThe hain yahan main bhi to hun
