dil ki kahaniyon ko naya mod kyun diya
rishton ke tute shishe ko phir jod kyun diya

dahliz par jala ke sar-e-sham ek charagh
darwaza tum ne ghar ka khula chhod kyun diya

gul-dan mein saje hue naqli gulab par
ek bad-hawas titli ne dam tod kyun diya

tufan se lad raha tha wo sahil ke waste
sahil mila to naw ka rukh mod kyun diya

ye dekhiye wo khush hai bahut mujh ko chhod kar
mat puchhiye ki us ne mujhe chhod kyun diya
