koi tum jaisa tha aisa hi koi chehra tha
yaad aata hai ki ek khwab kabhi dekha tha

raat jab der talak chand nahin nikla tha
meri hi tarah se saya bhi mera tanha tha

jaane kya soch ke tum ne mera dil pher diya
mere pyare isi mitti mein mera sona tha

wo bhi kam-bakht zamane ki hawa le ke gai
meri aankhon mein meri mai ka jo ek qatra tha

tu na jaga magar ai dil tere darwaze par
aisa lagta hai koi pichhle pahar aaya tha

teri diwar ka saya na khafa ho mujh se
rah chalte yunhi kuchh der ko aa baitha tha

ai shab-e-gham mujhe khwabon mein sahi dikhla de
mera suraj teri wadi mein kahin duba tha

ek meri aankh hi shabnam se sharabor rahi
subh ko warna har ek phul ka munh sukha tha

tum zara tham lo aa kar kabhi paimana-e-jaan
dekho dekho mere hathon se abhi chhuta tha
