tujh bin ghar kitna suna tha
diwaron se dar lagta tha

bhuli nahin wo sham-e-judai
main us roz bahut roya tha

tujh ko jaane ki jaldi thi
aur main tujh ko rok raha tha

meri aankhen bhi roti thin
sham ka tara bhi rota tha

galiyan sham se bujhi bujhi thin
chand bhi jaldi dub gaya tha

sannate mein jaise koi
dur se aawazen deta tha

yaadon ki sidhi se 'nasir'
raat ek saya sa utra tha
