kya din the jab chhup chhup kar tum pas hamare aate the
kanpte the badnami ke dar se aansu pi pi jate the

hae jawani kya mausam tha ab wo din yaad aate hain
ruthte the hum har-dam un pe aur wo aa ke manate the

hae ghazab hai mujh wahshi ko us mausam mein qaid kiya
sun jab shor-e-fasl-e-bahaaran murgh-e-qafas ghabraate the

zikr kiya main aap ka kis se kis ke aage nam liya
dushman the wo log mere jo aap ke tain bahkate the

hae wo pahle chah ka aalam kis se main izhaar karun
main to hijab se aap khajil tha wo mujh se sharmate the

us se 'hawas' milna mushkil tha par wo hum se dur na the
un ki hi taswir se har-dam apna ji bahlate the
