tez kitne hain yaad ke nashtar
muskuraate hain nam ke patthar

kitne chehron ko yaad rakkhoge
ek manzar anek pas-manzar

mukhtalif mukhtalif maraz lekin
ek se bed ek si chadar

aaina dekhte hain jaane kyon
ok se log dhup pi-pi kar

jis ko ab tak na mil saka aakar
aisi aawaz hai mere andar

aastinen ulat ke dekha to
khud chhupae hue tha main khanjar
