tare shumar karte hain ro ro ke raat bhar

shahar ki fasilon par zaKHm jagmagaenge

main moatabar hun ishq mera moatabar nahin

jo baiTho sochne har zaKHm-e-dil kasakta hai

jang mein jaega ab mera hi sar jaan gaya

jab bhi mila wo TuT ke humse mila to hai

yaron ko kya DhunD rahe ho waqt ki aankh-micholi mein

Khaali nahin hai koi yahan par azab se

na-jaane kitne lahje aur kitne rang badlega

ab dhup muqaddar hui chhappar na milega

ye waqt zindagi ki adaen bhi le gaya

sabz mausam ki rifaqat us ka karobar hai

parinde khet mein ab tak paDaw Dale hain
