teri yaadon ne tadpaya bahut hai
bhale hi dil ko samjhaya bahut hai

bahut zakhmi kiya hai dil ko tum ne
tumhin ko phir bhi apnaya bahut hai

khile rahte hain zakhm-e-dil hamesha
khizan ne zulm to dhaya bahut hai

lab-e-jaanan jo zamzam-atashin tha
hawason par mere chhaya bahut hai

lughat mein husn ki tarif dhundhi
magar har lafz kam-maya bahut hai

dil-e-atish ki sazish mein 'zamani'
shab-e-hijran ko garmaya bahut hai
