samundar ke kinare
chandni raaton mein baitha

un hasin shamon ko akasr yaad karta hun
wo shamen jab wo mere sath hoti thi

samundar ki nihayat shokh lahron mein
ikatthe hum bhi patthar phenkte the

aur phir hum khilkhila kar hans dete the
magar ab chandni raaton mein jab main

sair ko jata hun tanhai ka kambal odh leta hun
samundar ke kinare jab bhi gahri soch mein dubun

udasi khamushi se pas aa kar baith jati hai
mere kandhe pe hamdardi se apna hath rakhti hai

wo kuchh kahti nahin lekin mujhe malum hai wo
is faza aur meri aankhon ki nami mahsus karti hai

nami jo muddaton ke baad bhi mujh ko bahut maghmum rakhti hai
