haal-e-dil is tarah chhupata hun
jab bhi milta hun muskuraata hun

raat bhar khwab jo sajata hun
din nikalta hai bhul jata hun

mere kamre mein sirf kaghaz hai
main charaghon se khauf khata hun

aaj-kal wo bhi kuchh nahin kahta
main bhi khamosh laut aata hun

unche logon mein baith kar main bhi
apni auqat bhul jata hun

jwar-bhata meri ragon mein hai
main samundar samet lata hun

kis ki bahon mein tutna tha mujhe
kis ki banhon mein chhatpatata hun

chandni jhulti hai shane par
chand ko god mein khilata hun

raat katti hai aasmanon par
din ko main bakriyan charaata hun

apsaraen mujhe bulati hain
dewtaon ko main bulata hun

khet to pat gae hain lashon se
ret mein sabziyan ugata hun
