ek hawa aisi chali bagule bhi kale ho gae
chand ko sardi lagi suraj ko chhaale ho gae

mazhabi aatish ne bachpan ki jala di dosti
hum bhi kaba ban gae tum bhi shiwale ho gae

hausla chhune ka tha bachpan mein tujh ko aasman
barson teri samt ek patthar uchhaale ho gae

hijr ki daulat ne mala-mal mujh ko kar diya
baal chandi ke hue sone ke chhaale ho gae

aire-ghaire natthu-khaire padh rahe hain chehre ab
chehre chehre na hue goya risale ho gae

dagh suraj ki hukumat par bhi kuchh to lag gaya
kuchh ujale jab andheron ke niwale ho gae

aainon par pattharon ke qatl ka ilzam kyun
aaine aaine na hon jaise bhaale ho gae

dekh lete tum bhi apne is zamin ke 'chand' ko
itni jaldi aasman ke kyun hawale ho gae
