teri nigah ka chubhta hua sawal mujhe
kahin na gham ke samundar mein de uchhaal mujhe

main ek lamha-e-kamzor ke hisar mein hun
shikastagi na kahin kar de paemal mujhe

bikharne wala hun mausam ki garm sanson se
nihaal-e-sabz tu bahon mein ab sanbhaal mujhe

main ek qatra-e-shabnam mera wajud hi kya
kiran ki nok hi kar degi paemal mujhe

shajar se barg-e-gul-e-zard ne kaha 'ahmar'
karam tera ki tu samjhe sharik-e-haal mujhe
