koi tara na dikha sham ki virani mein
yaad aaega bahut be-sar-o-samani mein

dam-ba-khud rah gaya wo pursish-e-haalat ke baad
aaina ho gai main aalam-e-hairani mein

dil salamat rahe tufan se tasadum mein magar
hath se chhut gaya hath pareshani mein

sahl karti main takhatub mein mukarna tujh se
mushkilen aur thin is rah ki aasani mein

ab teri yaad jo aae bhi to yun aati hai
jaise kaghaz ki koi naw chale pani mein

aise aalam mein meri nind ka aaseb na puchh
khwab mange hain teri chashm ki nigarani mein

khinch rakhti hai mere mere panw ko dahliz talak
koi zanjir hai is ghar ki nigahbani mein
