kar gae ashk meri aankh ko jal-thal kya kya
ab ke barsa hai teri yaad ka baadal kya kya

jis taraf dekhiye ek qaus-e-quzah hai raqsan
rang bharta hai faza mein tera aanchal kya kya

tu to chup-chap tha lekin tujhe malum nahin
kah gaya meri nazar se tera kajal kya kya

shahr-e-saffak ki be-dard guzargahon mein
jagmagate hain charagh-e-sar-e-maqtal kya kya

kis liye jaen bhala dasht ko hum diwane
shahr hi bante chale jate hain jangal kya kya

ab bhi har mod pe ek tishna-labi hai 'betab'
yun to is shahr pe barsa kiye baadal kya kiya
