hue hain phir se andheron ke hausle raushan
qalam sambhaal andhere ko jo likhe raushan

ye sukhi jhilen thin in mein kahan se aai badh
hamari aankhon mein hain kis ke tajrabe raushan

ye aur baat hawa ne bujha diye kafi
tumhaari yaad ke lekin hain kuchh diye raushan

tumhein chamakna hai to likkho hum ko safhon par
hamare hone se hote hain hashiye raushan

udas sham hai aur sare bench khali hain
koi zamana tha hote the qahqahe raushan

zara si der ko saye mein un ke aaya tha
yaqin jaano hue sare zawiye raushan

mere qarib koi khwab kaise aa pata
ki mujh mein rahte hain barson se ratjage raushan

ab un pe dhund qayamat ki dhund tari hai
tumhaare sath jo hote the marhale raushan

haqiqatan use dekha kahan hai muddat se
hain jis ki did ke khwabon mein waqiye raushan

gire jo yaad ki jacket pe yaad ke phahe
andhere dil mein hue khub walwale raushan

kiya muaf jo ek dusre se dur rahe
qarib aae, hue sare fasle raushan

main tirgi sahi lekin kabhi kabhi mujh mein
huzur koi to pahlu nikaliye raushan
