apane chehare se jo zaahir hai chhupaen kaise
teree marzee ke mutaabiq nazar aaen kaise
jahaan rahega vaheen raushanee lutaega
kisee charaag ka apana makaan nahin hota
dukh apana agar ham ko bataana nahin aata
tum ko bhee to andaaza lagaana nahin aata
aasamaan itanee bulandee pe jo itaraata hai
bhool jaata hai zameen se hee nazar aata hai
vo jhoot bol raha tha bade saleeqe se
main etibaar na karata to aur kya karata
tujhe paane kee koshish mein kuchh itana kho chuka hoon main
ki too mil bhee agar jae to ab milane ka gam hoga
raat to vaqt kee paaband hai dhal jaegee
dekhana ye hai charaagon ka safar kitana hai
tum aa gae ho to kuchh chaandanee see baaten hon
zameen pe chaand kahaan roz roz utarata hai
aate aate mira naam sa rah gaya
us ke honton pe kuchh kaanpata rah gaya
vaise to ik aansoo hee baha kar mujhe le jae
aise koee toofaan hila bhee nahin sakata
