mausam-e-yaad yun ujlat mein na ware jaen
hum wo lamhe hain jo fursat se guzare jaen

ho ke ruswa wo hua jis ki kabhi hasrat thi
hum tere nam se mahfil mein pukare jaen

aap ka husn hai jitna bhi numaish kije
han bas itna hai ki masum na mare jaen

yan se ab rah-e-adam su-e-falak jati hai
aaiye panw hawaon mein utare jaen

ek tere nam ka tha sath ki ab wo bhi nahin
ab tere shahr bhala kis ke sahaare jaen

khamushi tod ke sar le li ye kaisi wahshat
aisa lagta hai ki bas tum ko pukare jaen

ho chuka tang main zindan-e-khamoshan se bahut
kuchh parinde hi meri chhat pe utare jaen

zindagi bhi to kabhi maujon se lad kar dekhe
sirf kya hum ko gharaz hai ki kinare jaen

aaj ki raat andheron ki hai darkar mujhe
aaj ki raat meri chhat se sitare jaen
