aaine ke aakhiri izhaar mein
main bhi hun sham-e-abad-asar mein

dekhte hi dekhte gum ho gai
raushni badhti hui raftar mein

qatra qatra chhat se hi risne lagi
dhup ka rasta na tha diwar mein

apni aankhen hi main bhul aaya kahin
raat itni bhid thi bazar mein

bar bar aata raha hai tera nam
aaina hoti hui guftar mein

dur tak bichhti chali jati thi nind
khwab aata hi na tha izhaar mein
