hawa-e-sham chale to bikharne lagti hun
main dasht-e-dil se simat kar guzarne lagti hun

azal se ta-ba-abad ek lamha mera hai
teri nigah mein jis dam thaharne lagti hun

nazar ke lams se rang-e-badan chhupati rahi
main titliyon ki tarah kyon ki marne lagti hun

mili firaq ke aaine mein panah mujhe
visal-e-harf mein dhal kar sanwarne lagti hun

waraq pe sada tamanna ke khal-o-khad hain magar
main soch kar tujhe kuchh rang bharne lagti hun

jab aagahi ke khadd-o-khal dekhti hun kabhi
to apne husn-e-tahayyur se darne lagti hun

agar tu wada nibhata nahin to us lamhe
main apne aap se bhi khud mukarne lagti hun
