khun-chakan dil kahan kahan haare
danw walon ke pech the nyare

chandni ka khayal tha warna
the baghawat pe chand se tare

ek aansu samajh ke ponchha tha
khun chehre pe mal gaya sare

thele thele pada raha sona
log mitti pe jut gae sare

thi khabar sham un ke aane ki
aasman par the raat bhar tare

tut kar kal bikhar gae phir se
zikr par un ke aankh bhar tare

kam mohabbat ki aag mat samjho
kat gae koh bah gae dhaare
