kahne ko mukhtasar thi magar baat to hui
achchha hua wafa ki shuruat to hui

ek umr se jo bichhde hue the hamare yar
shukr-e-khuda ki un se mulaqat to hui

the chilchilati dhup mein jhulse hue badan
baadal simat ke aa gae barsat to hui

shayad ki ab sukun mile bhag-daud se
din ne thaka diya tha bahut raat to hui

jo shak ka khel tha wo dilon se nikal gaya
gar jit ho na pai to phir mat to hui
