hijr main jo li gai taswir hai
ye hamari aakhiri taswir hai

maut bharti ja rahi hai apne rang
zindagi mitti hui taswir hai

tum jise kahte ho jismon ki qatar
asl mein diwar ki taswir hai

yar logon se gale milna bhi kya
koi patthar hai koi taswir hai

mit gai taswir pahle ishq ki
samne ab dusri taswir hai

jitni taswiren hain mere samne
sab se achchhi aap ki taswir hai

kuchh nahin badla tumhaare baad bhi
zindagi taswir thi taswir hai

ruh ne rakkha hua hai sab bharam
warna har ek aadmi taswir hai

dhal gai hai pyas meri naqsh mein
ye jo pani par bani taswir hai

hath mein tukde khaton ke hain faqih
aankh mein jalti hui taswir hai
