phir rahi thi gali gali aawaz
kya hui kis taraf gai aawaz

mera shahr-e-sukun laraz uttha
jaane kaisi thi wo nai aawaz

khushbuon si ada ada us ki
raushni si bikherti aawaz

dil mukhatab hua hai us ki taraf
mujh ko shayad kisi ne di aawaz

us ke rukhsar jaise shoala-e-gul
shahd kanon mein gholti aawaz

ek muddat ke baad zindan mein
jaane kis ki ye gunj uthi aawaz

tere qadmon ki chap sun ke laga
is se achchhi nahin koi aawaz

tere alfaz hain shanakht teri
teri pahchan hai teri aawaz

mere andar se bolta hai tu
mere honton pe hai teri aawaz

dasht-e-ehsas mein abhi abhi 'nur'
aai hai mujh ko dhundti aawaz
