main ne kab barq-e-tapan mauj-e-bala mangi thi
gungunati hui sawan ki ghata mangi thi

dasht-o-sahra se guzarti hui tanhai ne
raste bhar ke liye us ki sada mangi thi

wo tha dushman mera haara to bahut zakhmi tha
main ne hi us ke liye shakh-e-hina mangi thi

saeban dhup ka kyun sar pe mere tan diya
ai khuda main ne to baadal ki rida mangi thi

shakh se tutte patton ki tarah main ne bhi
mausam-e-gul tere aane ki dua mangi thi

meri uryani ko kafi thi teri parchhain
main ne kab chand-sitaron ki qaba mangi thi

shahr-e-dilli se hamein aur to kya lena tha
apni sanson ke liye taza hawa mangi thi
