jis samay tera asar tha mujh mein
baat karne ka hunar tha mujh mein

subh hote hi sabhi ne dekha
koi ta hadd-e-nazar tha mujh mein

man batati hai ki bachpan ke samay
kisi aaseb ka dar tha mujh mein

jo bhi aaya kabhi wapas na gaya
aisi chahat ka bhanwar tha mujh mein

main tha sadiyon ke safar mein 'ahmad'
aur sadiyon ka safar tha mujh mein
