chehra bata raha hai raaton ko jagte ho
kaisi thakan mili hai hans kar utarte ho

kis ke qadam pade the kaise nishan pade hain
kis ke ghamon ki mitti aangan se jhadte ho

likkho kabhi ki mujh ko tum yaad kar rahe ho
masrufiyat ke lamhe bhi mujh pe warte ho

chhoda tha tum ne jaisa thahre hue hain ab tak
aur tum gali gali mein hum ko pukarte ho

rukhsat karo na hans kar aankhon se do duaen
jaane pe mere aise kyon munh bigadte ho

tare hue hain maddham chanda chala gaya hai
yan raat ho chuki hai tum din guzarte ho

mausam hua hai barham bechain hain fazaen
aise mein tum 'diya' ki zulfen sanwarte ho
