jis baat ka khadsha tha wahi baat hui hai
ghar dur bahut dur hai jab raat hui hai

ta-hadd-e-nazar wadi-e-viran ki zamin par
kal raat musalsal ghani barsat hui hai

pahle kabhi dekha to nahin hai tumhein lekin
mahsus ye hota hai mulaqat hui hai

yun hum ne sanwari hai ye tahrir-e-mohabbat
alfaz ki nuqton ki mudaraat hui hai

sahil pe jo pahuncha mujhe dariya ne sada di
is khel mein pahle bhi tumhein mat hui hai

ehsas-e-gham-e-zat ne chuppi si laga di
jis waqt zamane se mulaqat hui hai
