ye tasawwur ka war jhuta hai
khwab jhute hain sar jhuta hai

phul tum tod lae shakhon se
kya bahaaron se pyar jhuta hai

aankhon mein kuchh zaban par kuchh hai
tera kirdar yar jhuta hai

sari gustakhiyan rahin qaem
us pe rutba waqar jhuta hai

lapata hun main ghar nahin koi
chitthi jhuti hai tar jhuta hai

maut se tez daud kis ki hai
umr par shahsawar jhuta hai

dhup ke shul bikhre hain har sun
chandni ka khumar jhuta hai

aankhon mein rakh hunar takallum ka
lafzon par e'tibar jhuta hai

bar-e-khatir hai hum ko fikr-e-zist
hasraton ka mazar jhuta hai

tutna aaine ki fitrat hai
pattharon se qarar jhuta hai

'chand' kab tak karoge dil ka yaqin
aap ka intizar jhuta hai
