bichhadte tutte rishton ko hum ne dekha tha
ye waqt hum pe bhi guzrega ye na socha tha

nami thi palkon pe bhiga hua sa takiya tha
pata chala ki koi khwab hum ne dekha tha

hamare zehn mein ab tak usi ki hai khushbu
tumhaare sehn mein bele ka ek pauda tha

khurach ke phenk dun kis tarah dagh yaadon ke
main bhul jata wo sab kuchh to kitna achchha tha

hamare haal ko dekho nigah-e-ibrat se
ye baat hum se na puchho ki kaun kaisa tha

janab-e-khizr kahan aap mujh ko chhodenge
jo sath chhod gaya wo bhi aap jaisa tha

milega kyun kisi dushman ki aastin pe lahu
tumhaara 'shams' nigah-e-karam ka mara tha
