jis din se meri tum se shanasai hui hai

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

maut jab mere nazdik aane lagi

tasawwuraat mein dil ki uDan dekh zara

tera hi zikr harsu tera hi bayan mile

tumne mahsus kahan meri zarurat ki hai

nigah mujhse milane ki un mein tab nahin

aarzuon ko ana-gir nahin kar sakte

kuchh is tarah se hai mere asar mein tanhai

dekhta kya hai tu hairat se hamara chehra

rah kar bhi tujhse dur tere aas-pas hun

zamana lakh samajhta ho ahmiyat meri

jab meri kahani mein wo kirdar nahin ab

ab koi silsila nahin baqi

hai jo diwar par ghaDi tanha
