khul gai khidki achanak phir bhi mujh ko dar na tha
ab meri aankhon mein koi raat ka manzar na tha

bah raha tha chaar su ek ret ka dariya magar
jis jagah par main khada tha rasta banjar na tha

shahr ke sare makan lagne lage hain ek se
jis makan mein bhi gaya dekha mera wo ghar na tha

yaad jab karne laga tab rang-e-mausam bhi khula
log kahte the ki tughyani bhara sagar na tha

raste 'premi' sabhi kyun kho gae gum ho gae
is se pahle itni gahri dhund ka manzar na tha
