jis se mil baithe lagi wo shakl pahchani hui
aaj tak hum se yahi bas ek nadani hui

saikdon parde utha lae the hum bazar se
gutthiyan kuchh aur uljhin aur hairani hui

hum to samjhe the ki us se fasle mit jaenge
khud ko zahir bhi kiya lekin pashemani hui

kya bataen fikr kya hai aur kya hai justuju
han tabiat din-ba-din apni bhi sailani hui

kyun khilaune tutne par aab-dida ho gae
ab tumhein hum kya bataen kya pareshani hui
