jab mere shahr ki har sham ne dekha us ko
kyun na phir mere dar-o-baam ne dekha us ko

harf-dar-harf mere dil mein utart aaya hai
mujh se pahle mere ilham ne dekha us ko

meri aankhon ne to ek bar hi manzar dekha
phir har ek lamha-e-dushnam ne dekha us ko

din dhale khwab dariche mein utar aata hai
jab bhi dekha hai yahan sham ne dekha us ko

jaane kis khwab ki hairat ne jagae rakkha
phir meri hasrat-e-nakaam ne dekha us ko
