jism apna hai koi aur na saya apna
jaane is zist se hai kaun sa rishta apna

tu ne kis mod pe chhoda tha mujhe umr-e-rawan
tak raha hun kai sadiyon se main rasta apna

sang-andaz hua shahr-e-sitam-pesha tamam
dil liye baitha hai shishe ka gharaunda apna

hum rahe bhi to badalte hue mausam ki tarah
teri aankhon mein koi aks na thahra apna

jog le kar teri khatir liye galiyon galiyon
ek mughanni ki tarah dard bhi becha apna

ek be-nam talluq bhi ab us ghar se nahin
muddaton jis mein raha tha kabhi charcha apna

ek tera gham tha ba-har-rang jo shadab raha
is shajar ne na giraya koi patta apna

dil ki diwaron pe ye rang-e-shab-e-tar to dekh
hadisa chhod gaya hai koi saya apna

ai gham-e-khak-shuda jag ba-rang-e-ashaar
teri mitti mein milata hun main sona apna

kitne asnam tarashe hain teri surat ke
jhank kar dekhe zara mujh mein sarapa apna
