abhi dil mein gunjti aahaten mere sath hain
tu nahin hai aur teri dhadkanen mere sath hain

tu ne ek umr ke baad puchha hai haal-e-dil
wahi dard-o-gham wahi hasraten mere sath hain

tere sath guzre hasin lamhon ki shokhiyan
wahi rang-o-bu wahi raunaqen mere sath hain

mere panw mein hain zamin ki sabhi gardishen
sabhi aasman ki sazishen mere sath hain

mere zehn mein hain mohabbaton ke wo raat din
wo aziyyaten wo nawazishen mere sath hain

jo bichhadte lamhon 'shumar' tu ne kiye bahut
wo tamam shikwe-shikayaten mere sath hain
