aisa chehra mere bhi dhyan mein tha
jo zamin mein na aasman mein tha

dil to khali pada tha sadiyon se
ek saya mere makan mein tha

mujh mein shamil tha wo lahu ki tarah
aankh mein dil mein aur jaan mein tha

nam kya tha jo itna shirin tha
zaiqa ab bhi is zaban mein tha

dhund phaili hui thi chaaron taraf
shor hi shor is jahan mein tha

wo jo rahta tha sath sham-o-sahar
is zaman mein na us zaman mein tha

meri aankhon ne jo bhi dekha tha
sher mein nazm mein bayan mein tha

main bhi apni ana mein qaid rahi
wo bhi kuchh apni aan ban mein tha
