sitara-chashm hai aur mehrban hai
wo meri khak par ab aasman hai

tere aage mera khamosh hona
yaqin ke tut jaane ka saman hai

hadd-e-aindagan par ek lamha
meri majburiyon ka raaz-dan hai

hawa se rishta-e-jaan kya nibhaun
kisi ki yaad hi jab bad-guman hai

tera milna na milna ek hi tha
ye tanhai to ek ju-e-rawan hai
