be-talluq ruh ka jab jism se rishta hua
ghar mein la-waris pas-e-manzar ka sannata hua

dhup lahje mein nokilapan kahan se laegi
hum ne dekha hai shafaq-suraj abhi bujhta hua

chahta hai dil kisi se raaz ki baaten kare
phul aadhi raat ka aangan mein hai mahka hua

surkh mausam ki kahani to purani ho gai
khul gaya mausam to sare shahr mein charcha hua

aasman zahrab-manzar gum-shuda bezariyan
lams tanhai ka lagta hai mujhe dasta hua

har taraf roti hui khamoshiyon ka shor hai
dekhna ye meri basti mein achanak kya hua

jism mera jagta hai donon aankhen band hain
aur sannata hai meri ruh tak utra hua

aafiyat gar chahte ho 'rind' wapas ghar chalo
ab tamasha-gah ka manzar hai kuchh bigda hua
