us ke ik ik harf ki teh me chahat ka ik darya dekha
lekin us ki aankh me ham ne aksar pyas ka sehra dekha
dard ki rut me kon kisi ke zakham pe marham rakhta he
sardi ki raton me ham ne purey chand ko tanha dekha
——————————————————
dunya mujhi se mera pata puchti rahi
mera wujood gum tha kisi or ki zaat me
tera wasal tha ke zamanon ki saltanat
lamhon pe thi garift ke saddian theen hath me
——————————————————
tu ne nafrat se jo dekha to mujhe yad aya
kesay rishtay teri khatir yunhi chor aya hun
kitne dhundle hen ye chehre jinhe apnaya he
kitni ujli then wo aankhen jinhen chor aya hun
