nazar bacha ke wo hum se guzar gae chup-chap
abhi yahin the na jaane kidhar gae chup-chap

hui khabar bhi na hum ko kab aae aur gae
nigah-e-naz se dil mein utar gae chup-chap

dikhai ek jhalak aur ho gae ru-posh
tamam khwab achanak bikhar gae chup-chap

ye dekhne ke liye muntazir hain kya wo bhi
dayar-e-shauq mein hum bhi thahar gae chup-chap

karenge aisa wo is ka na tha hamein ehsas
wo qaul-o-feal se apne mukar gae chup-chap

fasil-e-shahr ke bahar nahin kisi ko khabar
bahut se ahl-e-hunar yunhi mar gae chup-chap

dikha rahe the hamein sabz bagh wo ab tak
unhen jo karna tha 'barqi' wo kar gae chup-chap
