miTTi jab tak nam rahti hai

mir-ji se agar iradat hai

yun ganwata hai koi jaan-e-aziz

kuchh na kuchh sochte raha kije

maine socha tha is ajnabi shahr mein zindagi chalte-phirte guzar jaegi

apni be-chehragi mein patthar tha

rahna har dam bujha bujha sa kuchh

husn-e-bazm-e-misal mein kya hai

KHwab uske hain jo chura le jae

raat humne jahan basar ki hai

dil ne apni zaban ka pas kiya

tere nazdik aa kar sochta hun

koi tamir ki surat nikalo

pas apne ek jaan hai sain

mohabbat KHabt hai ya waswasa hai
