ishq ki rasm nibhana thi nibha li main ne
dard ki basti basana thi basa li main ne

wo zarur aaega ek aas laga li main ne
ghar ki har chiz qarine se saja li main ne

aaj phir chae banate hue wo yaad aaya
aaj phir chae mein patti nahin dali main ne

aag dahki to nikalna pada kamre se magar
us ki taswir kisi tarah bacha li main ne

nam us ka hi liya karti hai wo sham-o-sahar
ek maina jo bade pyar se pali main ne

wo to mahfil mein hi elan-e-wafa kar deta
baat mat puchhiye phir kaise sambhaali main ne

ghar ki buniyaad ke patthar bhi sadak par hote
wo to achchha hua diwar bacha li main ne
