duriyan sari simat kar rah gain aisa laga
mund li jab aankh to sine se koi aa laga

kis qadar apnaiyat us ajnabi basti mein thi
go ki har chehra tha begana magar apna laga

pas se ho kar jo wo jata to khush hote magar
us ka katra kar guzarna bhi hamein achchha laga

us ghadi kya kaifiyat dil ki thi kuchh hum bhi sunen
tu ne pahli bar jab dekha hamein kaisa laga

jis qadar gunjaan aabaadi thi us ke shahr ki
jaane kyun har shakhs hum ko is qadar tanha laga

jism ka aatish-kada le kar to pahunche the wahan
hath jab us ka chhua to barf se thanda laga

jab kisi shirin-dahan se guftugu ki ai 'qamar'
apna lahja bhi hamein us ki tarah mitha laga
