qayamaten guzar gain riwayaton ki soch mein
khalish jo thi wahi rahi mohabbaton ki soch mein

ye ab khula ki us ki shaeri mein meri baat ka
jo rang khas tha mita izafaton ki soch mein

main apne chehra-e-junun ko aaine mein dekh lun
to aks bujh na jaega haqiqaton ki soch mein

main apni dhup chhanw ki zamanaten na de sakun
to aap kyun jalen-bujhen tamazaton ki soch mein

ajab mazaq us ka tha ki sar se panw tak mujhe
wafaon se bhigo diya nadamaton ki soch mein

gai ruton ne hans ke raston ke zakhm bhar diye
'humaira' aaj kaun tha masafaton ki soch mein
