kash main bhul sakun aaj hi chehra tera
bujhne pae na magar ishq ka shoala tera

koi surat koi manzil na rahi yaad mujhe
han agar yaad raha hai to wo rasta tera

tu kahin khoya gaya ho to main dhundun tujh ko
sabt hai dil pe mere naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa tera

main ne chaha tha parastish ki hadon tak tujh ko
teri bad-khui ne dhundla diya naqsha tera

panw gade raha barson main darakhton ki tarah
aakhir-e-kar baha le gaya dariya tera

maut ki meri dua karte the aur kahte the dost
hum se dekha nahin jata hai tamasha tera

hai koi aisa ki jo us ko batae 'shohrat'
chashma-e-ab-e-baqa mar gaya pyasa tera
