tujhe kaise ilm na ho sakaa badi door tak ye khabar gaii tire shahar hi ki ye shaayera tire intizaar men mar gaii

isee se jaan gaya main ki bakht dhalne lage main thak ke chaanv men baitha to ped chalne lage main de raha tha sahaare to ik hujoom men tha jo gir pada to sabhi raasta badlne lage

jahaan se jee na lage tum wahin bichhad jaana magar KHuda ke li.e be-vafaaii na karna

ghar men ghushta hooñ to lagta hai ki registaan hai mere ik kamre men saare shahar bhar kii gard hai

tumhaare bin guzaari raat ke bas do hi kisse hain kabhi hichki nahin rukti kabhi sisaki nahin rukti

shab ki hawa se haar gaii mere dil ki aag yakh-basta shahar men koi radd-o-badal na tha

ghar laut ke roenge maa baap akelaa men miTTi ke khilaune bhi saste na the mele men

hawa KHafaa thii magar itni sang-dil bhi na thii humeen ko shama jalane ka hausla na hua

deewaron se mil kar rona achha lagta hai ham bhi paagal ho jaayenge aisa lagta hai

zindagi bhar ke li.e rooth ke jaane waale main abhii tak tiri tasveer li.e baitha hooñ
