khud ko jab tere muqabil paya
apni pahchan ka lamha aaya

aks-dar-aks the rangon ke charagh
main ne mitti ka diya apnaya

ek pal ek sadi par bhaari
soch par aisa bhi lamha aaya

panw chhalni to wafa ghail thi
jaane us mod pe kya yaad aaya

ek lamhe ke tabassum ka fusun
jaan se guzre to samajh mein aaya
