bade khulus se apna bana liya tha mujhe
tumhaare hijr ne zinda bacha liya tha mujhe

yaqin jaan bahut dar gaya tha us din jab
gale se tu ne achanak laga liya tha mujhe

bichhad gae hain to sara qusur hai tera
ki tu ne sar pe jo itna chadha liya tha mujhe

main itni der kahin baith hi nahin sakta
kisi ne hath pakad kar bitha liya tha mujhe

jo is tarah se mujhe kharch kar raha hai tu
ye chand roz mein kitna kama liya tha mujhe

mujhe khushi hai suhulat se ab marunga main
ki ek bar to us ne bacha liya tha mujhe

wo sard sham wo barish wo lapata yaaden
kisi ne shaal mein 'sahir' chhupa liya tha mujhe
