muddat se ik ladakee ke rukhsaar kee dhoop nahin aaee
is lie mere kamare mein itanee thandak rahatee hai
haqeeqaton mein zamaana bahut guzaar chuke
koee kahaanee sunao bada andhera hai
pyaar hee pyaar hai sab log baraabar hain yahaan
may-kade mein koee chhota na bada jaam utha
tumhaare ghar ke sabhee raaston ko kaat gaee
hamaare haath mein koee lakeer aisee thee
mandir gae masjid gae peeron faqeeron se mile
ik us ko paane ke lie kya kya kiya kya kya hua
ik shaam ke sae tale baithe rahe vo der tak
aankhon se kee baaten bahut munh se kaha kuchh bhee nahin
meree aankh ke taare ab na dekh paoge
raat ke musaafir the kho gae ujaalon mein
haath mein chaand jahaan aaya muqaddar chamaka
sab badal jaega qismat ka likha jaam utha
yahaan ek bachche ke khoon se jo likha hua hai use padhen
tira keertan abhee paap hai abhee mera sajda haraam hai
ye parinde bhee kheton ke mazadoor hain
laut ke apane ghar shaam tak jaenge
