nikal hi aati thi surat kabhi palatne ki
par us ne ki nahin niyyat kabhi palatne ki

tamam umr usi ka intizar karte rahe
ki jis mein thi nahin aadat kabhi palatne ki

ab ek sang ki surat pade hain dar pe tere
chuka rahe hain yun qimat kabhi palatne ki

wagarna wo to na tha is qadar bhi sakht mizaj
hamin ne ki nahin himmat kabhi palatne ki
