tu agar abr hai main abr mein pani ki tarah
main tere sath hun lafzon mein maani ki tarah

nafsi-nafsi ka ye aalam hai ki aate jate
tum mile bhi to qayamat ki nishani ki tarah

yun hi ek roz guzar jaunga rahon se teri
main bhi bahti hui nadiyon ki rawani ki tarah

dekh kar tujh ko kaleje mein kasak uthti hai
dhaj teri hai meri aashufta-bayani ki tarah

na-muradi mein tu ai dasht akela hi nahin
main bhi pyasa hun teri tishna-dahani ki tarah

aaj sun lo meri baaten ki abhi zinda hun
kal suna jaunga mahfil mein kahani ki tarah
