dil ki yaad-dahani se

dil ke sune sahn mein gunji aahaT kis ke panw ki

yaqin ki saltanat thi aur sultani hamari

hamare bas mein kya hai aur hamare bas mein kya nahin

gali ka manzar badal raha tha

bhula diya bhi agar jae sarsari kiya jae

jis ki saundhi saundhi KHushbu aangan aangan palti thi

hujra-e-KHwab se bahar nikla

be-sabab ho ke be-qarar aaya

sabz-kheton se umaDti raushni taswir ki

sehan-e-ainda ko imkan se dhoe jaen

jab munDeron pe parindon ki kumak jari thi

umr ki awwalin azanon mein

wo nigah jab mujhe pukarti thi
