dhadka tha dil ki pyar ka mausam guzar gaya
hum dubne chale the ki dariya utar gaya

khwabon ki wo mata-e-giran kis ne chhin li
kya jaaniye wo nind ka aalam kidhar gaya

tum se bhi jab nashat ka ek pal na mil saka
main kasa-e-sawal liye dar-ba-dar gaya

bhule se kal jo aaina dekha to zehn mein
ek munhadim makan ka naqsha utar gaya

tez aandhiyon mein panw zamin par na tik sake
aakhir ko main ghubar ki surat bikhar gaya

gahra sukut raat ki tanhaiyan khandar
aise mein apne aap ko dekha to dar gaya

kahta kisi se kya ki kahan ghumta phira
sab log so gae to main chupke se ghar gaya
