honton pe agarche mere muskan saji hai
ab bhi meri palkon pe to halki si nami hai

aa kar koi baitha hai khayalon mein jo is dam
aankhon ki ye barsat zara der ruki hai

main khud hun kahin aur dil-e-gham-dida kahin aur
jazbaat mein ehsas mein ek barf jami hai

khwabon ke dariche se jo jhanka hai kisi ne
dil ne kahin sine mein koi aah bhari hai

taswir-e-gham-o-dard bani jati hun ab to
kaisi mere malik meri taqdir likhi hai

dil dard-e-judai se tadapta hai har ek pal
hun bhid mein logon ke magar teri kami hai

dil jalta hai kyunkar na karun aah aur zari
tufan hai sine mein ek halchal si machi hai

lagta hai ki jalta hai in aankhon mein koi khwab
uthta hai dhuan jaise kahin aag lagi hai

ek pal ki judai mujhe manzur nahin ab
himmat nahin jine ki badi sakht ghadi hai

galiyon mein khade ho ke teri rah takun main
zanjir tere hijr ki pairon mein padi hai

baqi nahin jine ki tamanna mere dil mein
aa dekh le 'rana' teri kis gham mein ghuli hai
