dhund mein dubi sari faza thi us ke baal bhi gile the
jis ki aankhen jhilon jaisi jis ke hont rasile the

jis ko kho kar khak hue hum aaj use bhi dekha to
hansti aankhen afsurda thin hont bhi nile nile the

jin ko chhu kar kitne 'zaidi' apni jaan ganwa baithe
mere ahd ki shahnazon ke jism bade zahrile the

aakhir aakhir aisa hua ki tera nam bhi bhul gae
awwal awwal ishq mein jaanan hum kitne joshile the

aankhen bujha ke khud ko bhula ke aaj 'shanas' main aaya hun
talkh thin lahjon ki barsaten rang bhi kadwe-kasile the
