jo saya sa munawwar tha mere sajan ka thoda tha
muqaddar yun abhi raushan mere aangan ka thoda tha

wo mera kuchh nahin tha phir bhi mujh ko yaad aata hai
hamare bich ka nata kisi bandhan ka thoda tha

andhere mein to shamshiren hi dekhi ja sakin lekin
ujale mein jo dekha tha lahu dushman ka thoda tha

tumhaari lakdiyan puri tarah sukhi nahin hongi
ab un ke jal na pane mein qusur indhan ka thoda tha

jawani ka tha kuchh hissa budhape ki bataun kya
meri be-tabiyon ka silsila bachpan ka thoda tha
