bala ki dhup thi main jal raha tha
badan us ka tha aur saya mera tha

kharabe mein tha ek aisa kharaba
jahan main sab se chhup ke baithta tha

bahut nazdik the taswir mein hum
magar wo fasla jo dikh raha tha

jahazi qafila duba tha pahle
samundar baad mein upar utha tha

zamin-o-asman sakit pade the
mere kamre ka pankha chal raha tha

use bhi ishq ki aadat nahin thi
mera bhi pahla pahla tajraba tha

mujhe jab tak talasha raushni ne
main pura tirgi ka ho chuka tha
