guftugu kyun na karen dida-e-tar se baadal
laut aae hain sitaron ke safar se baadal

kya ghazabnak thi suraj ki barahna shamshir
kale mujrim ki tarah nikle na ghar se baadal

raat ki kokh koi chand kahan se lae
ye zamin banjh hai barse ki na barse baadal

barf se kahiye ki saughat kare un ki qubul
lae hain aag ke dastane safar se baadal

main ki hun dhup ka aazad parinda lekin
baal kyun noch rahe hain mere par se baadal

aakhiri khat to likhunga main lahu se khud ko
ab bhi mayus jo laute tere dar se baadal

na kisi jism ka jadu na ghata gesu ki
'prem' kyun ruth gae prem-nagar se baadal
