suraj ki kiran ka shoabada hai
rang-e-rukh-e-zard ud gaya hai

naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa ne gul khilae
viran kahan ab ye rasta hai

jag utthi hain zindagi ki rahen
shayad koi chand ko gaya hai

sholon se hua tha bagh khali
phir sina-e-gul bhadak utha hai

patte patte ka rang badla
badli badli hui faza hai

pahle to na yun kabhi hua tha
tu bhi mujhe dekh kar hansa hai

beganagi ne ye raaz khola
tu mera azal se aashna hai

shabnam sar-e-nok-e-khar yani
lab pe mere harf-e-muddaa hai

har dard nahin dawa ka muhtaj
yun bhi to ilaj-e-gham hua hai

tera hi rahega bol-baala
dil mera abas dhadak raha hai
