surat-e-haal-e-dil badalta hai
koi rah rah ke hath malta hai

dhup se kya shikayaten ki badan
chandni-raat mein bhi jalta hai

nind tuti hai kis ki aahat se
sath-e-dil par koi to chalta hai

ab kahan jae mausam-e-hijran
mere aangan mein aa nikalta hai

aisa lagta hai bachpana ab bhi
mera aanchal pakad ke chalta hai
