aise khud par yahan khudai ki
dil ki dekhi na hi sunai ki

be-qarari si dil ko hone lagi
jaane kis ne kahan rasai ki

wo hi sad-rang hai jazira-numa
mere khwabon ki kyun rihai ki

tohmaten dusron pe dharte hain
baat karte hain parsai ki

meri aankhon ke jal pade the diye
aansuon ne yun jag-hansai ki

aaj daman mein phul dale the
jaise gulshan ki phir gadai ki
