aisa lagta hai kisi gumbad se takrai na thi
warna kab aawaz meri laut kar aai na thi

tha teri qurbat ki aankhon mein har ek nashsha magar
nind se jagi hui yaadon ki angdai na thi

hum ko andha kar gai thi ek gahri raushni
zulmaton ki zad mein aa kar aankh pathrai na thi

qaid tha kyun chand sadiyon se hisar-e-abr mein
kyun ujalon ne use poshak pahnai na thi

jal gaya apne hi andar ki hararat se badan
surajon ne hum pe koi aag barsai na thi

tere sine mein tera khun barf kaise ho gaya
kya tere andar hararat ki tawanai na thi
