nange panw ki aahaT thi ya narm hawa ka jhonka tha

main teri hi aawaz hun aur gunj raha hun

hum kya kahen ki aabla-pai se kya mila

ruh ko qalib ke andar jaanna mushkil hua

ek sail-e-be-panah ki surat rawan hai waqt

yaad yun hosh ganwa baiThi hai

jaanib-e-dar dekhna achchha nahin

samundar par aa baiThe magar kya

chamka jo chand raat ka chehra nikhar gaya

har lamha marg-o-zist mein paikar dekhna

chandni raat mein har dard sanwar jata hai

chandni ka raqs dariya par nahin dekha gaya

koi rishta na ho phir bhi rishte bahut

kabhi pyara koi manzar lagega

jo guzarta hai guzar jae ji
