bas tere panw ki kami tha main
jaane kis shahr ki gali tha main

mere upar thin sab ki aankhen aur
sab ki aankhon mein ajnabi tha main

ek ta'alluq tha us pari-wash se
aankh us ki thi raushni tha main

din dhale log rone aate the
dukh ki basti mein ek nadi tha main

mar raha hun to yaad aata hai
jaane kitnon ki zindagi tha main

wo to mar kar khula ki tum bhi ho
zindagi mein to bas main hi tha main

jo na guzre wo ek pal thi tum
jo guzar jae wo ghadi tha main

ghar bhi sar par uthae phirta tha
kitna masum hijrati tha main
