chaan dii sona ek taraf teraa hona ek taraf ek taraf teri aañkhen jaadu toona ek taraf

haath khaali hai tere shahar se jaate jaate jaan hoti to meri jaan lutate jaate

apne men'yaar se neeche to main aane se raha she'r bhookha hooñ magar ghaas to khaane se raha

main choomta hooñ to vo haath kheench leta hai use pata hai ye seedhi kahaan pe jaani hai

raam hone men ya raavan men hai antar itnaa ek duniya ko khushi doosra gham deta hai ham ne raavan ko baras dar baras jalaya hai kaun hai vo jo ise phir se janam deta hai

phool kii aaghosh men madhosh jab titli rahe phool chahe vaqt tham jaa.e hawa dheemi rahe

vo meri paazeb kii jhankaar se beemaar hai to shifaa ta-umr us..ko ab milegi hi nahin

teri aankhoñ kii jo khumaari hai karti meri nafas-shumari hai

jab se tum saudaagar ban baithe ho chamkeele taaron ke tab se main bhi sar dii kii shaamon sii jal dii dhal jaati hooñ

rahe seene se lipta shawl pahredaar ban unke usii se aaj jhumkon ke uljhane ke iraade hain
