kal tak us ki wo mehrbani thi
aaj dekha to sargirani thi

kiya ghamgin us ne hum ko nit
jis ke milne ki shadmani thi

go ba-zahir wo ghair se tha do-chaar
hum se bhi dosti nibhani thi

jal-bujhe tab khula patangon par
shama aur dosti zabani thi

aa gaya rahm us ke dil mein aah
hum ne yun apni marg thani thi

so gaya sunte hi wo gham ki mere
sarguzisht us ke tain kahani thi

na 'jahandar' jaane tha ai 'mir'
dosti muddai-e-jaani thi
