dekhun to wo samne baitha hua hai
sochun to ek milon lamba fasla hai

nam tanhai ne tera likh diya hai
har koi chehre ko mere padh raha hai

chhu liya tha khwab mein tum ko kisi ne
aaj tak wo khud ko mujrim manta hai

muddaton pahle main us ka ho gaya par
wo abhi mujh ko khuda se mangta hai

yaad teri dil pe chhai hai ghata si
tez hai barsat jangal bhigta hai

kya kabhi pahle nahin rutha kisi se
muskuraata kyon hai gar mujh se khafa hai

chand ki kirnen hui jati hain resham
aur sannata bhi gahra ho chala hai

wo mulaem reshmi lahja kisi ka
meri ghazlon mein nadi sa bah raha hai
