ek ujli umang udai thi
hum ne tum ne patang udai thi

sham barish mein tere chehre se
abr ne qaus-e-rang udai thi

main ne bachpan ki khushbu-e-nazuk
ek titli ke sang udai thi

apni hi az-rah-e-tafannun-e-taba
dhajji-e-nam-o-nang adai thi

khwab ne kis khumar ki khashak
darmiyan-e-palang udai thi

koi bairuni aanch thi jis ne
andaruni tarang udai thi

chhin kar ek dusre ki baqa
hum ne tazhik-e-jang udai thi

ehtimam-e-dhamal kho baitha
kis ne khak-e-malang udai thi

mere chaaron taraf labon ki dhanak
us ne lagte hi ang udai thi

hum ne puchha nahin hamari ana
kis se ho kar dabang udai thi

phuljhadi thi ki tere kuche mein
tan ga kar talang udai thi

khud se tha bair pani mein rah kar
hum ne mauj-e-nahang udai thi

ek din hum ne hath phaila kar
chadar-e-pa-e-tang udai thi

parkhache chaaron or bikhre the
ek badan ne surang udai thi

phenk kar apne doston ki taraf
izz-o-jah-e-khadang udai thi

zaiqa ja saka na munh se 'nawed'
dawat-e-shokh-o-shang udai thi
