kitna afsurda hai khayal us ka
wo nahin hai to hai malal us ka

aks-dar-aks saya-e-larzan
aaina aaina jamal us ka

kitna mushkil hua jawab mujhe
kitna aasan tha sawal us ka

laut aata hai zakhmi khwab liye
khush-yaqini mein ehtimal us ka

der tak guftugu udas rahi
khamushi mein bhi tha khayal us ka
