dam-e-subh aandhiyon ne jinhen rakh diya masal ke
wahi nanhe nanhe paude the ghane darakht kal ke

nae sathiyon ki dhun mein teri dosti ko chhoda
koi tujh sa bhi na paya tere shahar se nikal ke

wahi rasm-e-kam-nigahi wahi raat ki siyahi
mere shahar ke charagho yahan kya karoge jal ke

nae khwab meri manzil tah-e-ab mera sahil
tumhein kya milega yaro mere sath sath chal ke

sar-e-sham aaj koi mere dil se kah raha hai
koi chand bhi to nikle koi jam bhi to chhalke

ye jo ghar luta luta hai ye jo dil bujha bujha hai
isi dil mein rah gae hain kai aaftab dhal ke

ye mushahida hai mera rah-e-zindagi mein 'basir'
wahi munh ke bal gira hai jo chala sanbhal sanbhal ke
