lamha-e-talkhi-e-guftar talak le aaya
wo mujhe apne hi mear talak le aaya

kya rakhe us se koi silsila-e-guft-o-shunid
ghar ki baaton ko jo bazar talak le aaya

main ne jo baat bharose pe kahi thi us se
wo use surkhi-e-akhbar talak le aaya

ghar mein jab kuchh na bacha us ki ianat ke liye
main utha kar dar-o-diwar talak le aaya

us ki aankhon mein ajab sehr tha main jis ke sabab
dil ki baaten lab-e-izhaar talak le aaya

wo jo qail hi na tha meri mohabbat ka use
rafta rafta had-e-iqrar talak le aaya

mere har jhut ko duniya ne saraha lekin
ek sach marhala-e-dar talak le aaya
