jawab mil na sake jab kahin hawalon mein
sawal rakh diye us ne mere sawalon mein

use khabar hi na thi aaftab niklega
safed phul sajae the us ne baalon mein

ye aur baat tumhaare nasib mein gham the
masarraten bhi thin un nargisi piyalon mein

samundaron ki tarah chand iztirab mein tha
tadap rahi thin kai machhliyan ujalon mein

zamin pe aa ke farishte lahuluhan hue
kisi chatan se takrae the khayalon mein
