aisa manzar to kabhi dekha na tha
raushni mein bhi mera saya na tha

pyar ke baadal to guzre the magar
dil ke sahra mein koi barsa na tha

umr-bhar padhta raha aisa bhi khat
tu ne mere nam jo likkha na tha

jism ki diwar ek thi darmiyan
main ne pa kar bhi tujhe paya na tha

yun to shabnam tha magar ai dosto
main kisi bhi phul par bikhra na tha

maut sine se laga lene ko hai
zindagi ne haal tak puchha na tha

ek hujum-e-mah-washan tha bazm mein
bas wahi ek chand ka tukda na tha
