dukh noshta he to aandhi ko likha! aahista
ay khuda ab ke chaley zard hawa, aahista
khawab jal jaen, meri chashm e tamanna bujh jae
bas hatheli se urey rang e hina aahista
zakhm he kholne ay he to ujlat kesi
chhu meray jism ko, ay bad e saba! aahista
tootne or bikharne ka koi mosam ho
phool ki ak dua- moj e hawa! aahista
janti hun ke bicharna teri majboori he
per meri jan! miley mujh ko saza aahista
meri chahat me bhi ab soch ka rang aaney laga
or tera pyar bhi shiddat me hua aahista
neend per jaal se perne lagey awazon ke
or phir honey lagi teri sada aahista
rat jab phool ke rukhsar pe dheeray se jhuki
chand ne jhuk ke kaha, or zara aahista!
