ana hawas ki dukanon mein aa ke baith gai
ajib maina hai shikron mein aa ke baith gai

jaga raha hai zamana magar nahin khultin
kahan ki nind in aankhon mein aa ke baith gai

wo fakhta jo mujhe dekhte hi udti thi
bade saliqe se bachchon mein aa ke baith gai

tamam talkhiyan saghar mein raqs karne lagin
tamam gard kitabon mein aa ke baith gai

tamam shahr mein mauzu-e-guftugu hai yahi
ki shahzadi ghulamon mein aa ke baith gai

nahin thi dusri koi jagah bhi chhupne ki
hamari umr khilaunon mein aa ke baith gai

utho ki os ki bunden jaga rahi hain tumhein
chalo ki dhup darichon mein aa ke baith gai

chali thi dekhne suraj ki bad-mizaji ko
magar ye os bhi phulon mein aa ke baith gai

tujhe main kaise bataun ki sham hote hi
udasi kamre ke taqon mein aa ke baith gai
