kya din the gulabon se shanasai thi apni
aatish ka jawan hona bhi ruswai thi apni

mahtab ki sanson mein tawazun na raha tha
is chand ne ek raat jo chamkai thi apni

ye ishq to lagta hai ki aaseb hai koi
hum ne to tabiat zara bahlai thi apni

ab dhund ke lae koi aur aaina jis mein
surat hamein ek roz nazar aai thi apni

jate to kahan ja ke sukun dhundte 'fakhir'
mahfil koi apni thi na tanhai thi apni
