tera khayal jaan ke barabar laga mujhe
tu meri zindagi hai ye akasr laga mujhe

dariya tere jamal ke hain kitne is mein gum
socha to apna dil bhi samundar laga mujhe

luta jo us ne mujh ko to aabaad bhi kiya
ek shakhs rahzani mein bhi rahbar laga mujhe

kya baat thi ki qissa-e-farhad-e-kohkan
apni hi dastan-e-sarasar laga mujhe

aamad ne teri kar diya aabaad is tarah
khud apna pahli bar mera ghar laga mujhe

aaya hai kaun meri ayaadat ke waste
kyun apna haal pahle se behtar laga mujhe

kya yaad aa gaya mujhe kyun yaad aa gaya
ghuncha khila jo shakh pe patthar laga mujhe
