chhup kar kahin taskin-e-nazar baith gaya hai
dekho use dhundo wo kidhar baith gaya hai

dil ki to wo haalat hai ki kya tujh ko bataen
sun kar tere jaane ki khabar baith gaya hai

is bar to sidha hi laga dil pe nishana
sidha hi tera tir-e-nazar baith gaya hai

raaton ko satane lagi phir yaad tumhaari
lagta hai hamein hijr ka dar baith gaya hai

hum jaison ki phir puchh parakh hone lagi hai
phir hum mein koi ahl-e-hunar baith gaya hai

main khud hi farishton ki jamaat se nahin hun
par mere jo andar tha udhar baith gaya hai
