na-azmuda harf the behaal ho gae
sar-ta-ba-pa nawishta-e-amal ho gae

pahla waraq ulatne ki mohlat kahan mili
do hi huruf jaan ka janjal ho gae

milna milana shukr-o-shikayat mohabbaten
yaro wo ahd-e-rafta ke ahwal ho gae

nikla tha lal-posh jaziron ki khoj mein
ab ye khabar bhi aae kai sal ho gae

bartaw mausamon ka bahut munsifana tha
raste bhi un ke sath hi pamal ho gae

pili hawa ka zor abhi kuchh ghata nahin
udte hue wo aae the be-baal ho gae

wo jism kya the barf ke paikar tamam the
main ne chhua to sa'iqa-timsal ho gae
