mera asbab-e-safar dhup hua karti thi
main jidhar jaun udhar dhup hua karti thi

us mahalle mein bhatakta tha mere man ka safir
jis mein udti si khabar dhup hua karti thi

chhanw ke baad ki khwahish bhi hua karti thi chhanw
dhup ke baad ka dar dhup hua karti thi

kya hue ab wo mohabbat ki shuruat ke roz
jab yahan aath-pahar dhup hua karti thi

ab tere rup ki kirnon se hai raushan ye hayat
tujh se pahle bhi magar dhup hua karti thi

chhanw mein aaun to sab log chale aate the
meri tanhai ka ghar dhup hua karti thi
