hum to aasan samajhte the ki rasta kam tha
is masafat mein mohabbat ka ilaqa kam tha

yun to diwar ke pahlu mein khade the hum bhi
dhup aisi thi ki diwar ka saya kam tha

kaisa lamha tha ki hum tark-e-safar kar baithe
khwab kam the na tere gham ka asasa kam tha

qamat-e-husn mein sani hi nahin tha us ka
shar-e-be-faiz tera zauq-e-tamasha kam tha

ek talluq tha jo tuta hai ki hum tute hain
phir bhi lagta hai ki hum ne use chaha kam tha
