usi ne hijraten kuchh aur bhi bitai thin
wo shakhs jis ke liye kashtiyan jalai thin

mila tha kya tumhin bolo azim phankaro
mere qalam ne to gum-namiyan kamai thin

abhi to hath mein hi sang-pare the lekin
sukut-e-ab pe kitni kharashen aai thin

uda ke barg-e-khizan-dida ki tarah ek roz
usi ne puchha tha phir aandhiyan kab aai thin

kisi ko qissa-e-paki-e-chashm yaad nahin
ye aanhken kaun si barsat mein nahai thin

talluqat mein sanjida mod jab aae
to ehtiyaten bahut us ki yaad aai thin
