maut jab mere nazdik aane lagi

nigah mujhse milane ki un mein tab nahin

main jis din se akeli ho gai hun

tumne mahsus kahan meri zarurat ki hai

jis din se meri tum se shanasai hui hai

zindagi tujhko kahin par to Thaharna hoga

aankh jab barse to kya puchhna mausam kaisa

sulagte dasht ka manzar hui hain

ab tere shahr se chup-chap guzarna hoga

gham-e-duniya ko bas meri taraf aane ki jaldi hai

aarzuon ko ana-gir nahin kar sakte

meri ruswai ka yun jashn manaya tumne

hai jo diwar par ghaDi tanha

humne chaha use usi ke baghair

ab koi silsila nahin baqi
