dard ki nili ragen tah se ubhar aati hain
yaad ke zakhm mein chingariyan dar aati hain

roz parchhaiyan yaadon ki parinde ban kar
ghar ke pichhwade ke pipal pe utar aati hain

suraten banti hain chahat ki ye kis mitti se
barha mit ke bhi ye bar-e-digar aati hain

ude ude se safure ki ghani tahniyon se
yaad ki surmai kirnen si guzar aati hain

roz khidki se qarib aam ke us ped ke pas
tutiyan chonch mein le le ke sahar aati hain

ek wirasat ki tarah ganw ki gud si baaten
gathdiyan bandh ke is dil ke nagar aati hain

jitna bhi chahun dar-e-yar se bach kar niklun
tohmaten itni ziyaada mere sar aati hain

itni si baat pe achchhi nahin shorida-sari
sham ko chidiyan to sab apne hi ghar aati hain

sharm se uljhe dupatte ki jo kholun girhen
dil ki 'nainan' ragen sab khulti nazar aati hain
