wo sard fasla bas aaj katne wala tha
main ek charagh ki lau se lipatne wala tha

bahut bikhera mujhe mere mehrbanon ne
mera wajud hi lekin simatne wala tha

bacha liya teri khushbu ke farq ne warna
main tere wahm mein tujh se lipatne wala tha

usi ko chumta rahta tha wo ki us ko bhi
aziz tha wahi bazu jo katne wala tha

mujhi ko rah badalni thi so badal dali
kahin pahad bhi thokar se hatne wala tha

talash jis ki thi wo harf mil gaya warna
main ek sada waraq aur ulatne wala tha

ye kis ko tir chalane ka shauq jag utha
wo baz meri taraf hi jhapatne wala tha
